It’s more like Ford sell you a car that’s guaranteed to have no breakdowns or need oil changes for the first two years. It might run a lot longer, but you they only promise two years so you plan to use it for that long.
If it broke in those two years you’d be very upset, but if it does last longer that’s a bonus.

They’re overbuilt to provide the best chance that the main mission is accomplished. Once that’s done they can keep going until it breaks.
