I'm with you on this. The difference I have would be mainly this.
If the product was defective and should have held up under said conditions, then I believe as a consumer it's fair to receive a brand new replacement camera immediately as opposed to sending it in for a warranty repair (the result of which is often getting someone else's item that was sent in for repair). I first learned that with HP scanners several years back. Sent it in for repair under warranty and discovered I'd received a refurbished model in return. Reading the warranty fine print, strictly legal, but not what one would expect.
