I think shops generally get better money when they charge you directly than when they get re-imbursed. Otherwise I could only explain their tendency to get out of warranty work as a sense of responsibility and that seems unlikely.

It depends. I believe warranty work is typically done at a flat "book rate" paid by the manufacturer based on their estimate of how long it 'should' take. If they can do it quicker, then it works out in their favor. If you read mechanic forums, they'll talk about their shortcuts for common warranty work. (like Takata airbag replacements)
