If a drive warrantied for 5 years begins showing warnings and refusing a rebuild in a cluster due to the manufacturer at only 3, that should qualify for warrant

If a drive warrantied for 5 years begins showing warnings and refusing a rebuild in a cluster due to the manufacturer at only 3, that should qualify for warranty replacement no? Even if it wasn’t, consumer law in places like Australia include a layman's test for reasonable lifetime for statutory warranty coverage which likely covers the same.
This doesn’t sound like a very well thought through idea…

But for a low price of $8 per month per drive you can subscribe to the new WD+ service, which will remove those pesky warnings, unlock your drives performance for streaming workloads, and give your management a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that your storage is protected. /s (or is it?)
