Look at my post again and tell me if you can refute my points at all

Well, none of your points were wrong. All 4 things you listed were completely true.
Now, I should have been specific. I don't sell electronics. I sell major home appliances. IMO, a TV has less of a chance of breaking down then say, a fridge.
If the compressor in your fridge malfunctions, not only is it $300 to replace the part, but an additional $150 + for labour. The extended warranty I would have tried to sell you, would have been $140. Which covers all parts and labour for 5 years.
All controls have gone digital, and for ths most part, brands don't build their appliances to last much longer than 10 years. You could have bought an appliance 20 years ago and have counted on it lasting till today. Not anymore.
I hear about service nightmares all the time. 90% of the time the extended warranty will not be used. The customer wasted $140. But those that use it are sure thankful they bought it.
