Parts are made to only fit in the correct spot with registration points (holes, edges, posts) that need to match the jig they are loaded into. Even home 3D printer servos easily position the tool heads to within 0.1mm.

The other issue with appliance insurance or extended warranty and the like, it dilutes the obligation of companies to honour consumer guarantees. Certainly in Australia companies have been fined and otherwise penalised for promoting paid ex
