I am still servicing my camera from the 80s and lens from the 70s with them. Nikon warranty in my country does not cover Internationally. But I am usually able to get servicing in every country even after out of the warranty period. Nikon waives my service fee quite frequently too.

PR is as old as humanity.
But even the name predates Nikon by almost two decades according to Wikipedia.

It's ok to praise/reward companies for doing the Right Thing, even if they try to make the most of it with PR.

Sure. I didn’t say it isn’t.
If you go to one of their service centers (there's a lot fewer of them, nowadays), in the back, you will often find camera bodies and parts for cameras that are fifty years old. They won't necessarily fix it under warranty, but they'll definitely try to fix it, if possible.
When 9/11 happened, they had cameras in the Melville service center from The Pile, covered with that dust, and they busted their butts to get them fixed up and back out there.
They are a very old company, and take their work seriously. There's lots of things to complain about, with them, but they are serious about Legacy.
