I think think your last sentence answers your own question. People are worried their new machine might only last 5 years.

Its not a case of "lasting", its a case of warranty. That is SPECIFICALLY what "percentage used" is for! What SSD can you buy that has a warranty longer than 5 years? Do your other devices stop working when out of warranty? Why do people think these will?
