Whether that's likely is entirely based on the cost of the device. Some things are simple and cheap and extra hardware cuts deeply into the profit. Others are not but this sort of thing is also important because they are remote and you don't want to have a person go out on site. When the device is expensive enough or sending someone to the site is expensive enough, "just ship a replacement" is not really a viable solution, unless you're installing it in a high-availability capacity where you can fail over to it without physical intervention.
Obviously it's not a solution for every circumstance. Nothing really is. I don't think it's useful for us to assume that a solution has to be, as that doesn't really help us in the many instances when it's good enough.
