This ^.
Also calculated into that is most people who do break a rod don't know it might be warrantied or can't be bothered so just go buy another rod. The percentage of rods that actually are sent/returned for warranty is quite low.
It's kind of like rifle scopes, the cost of repair/replacement
/ warranty return rate is factored into the retail price. it's just another marketing tool.
