Reputation. Why do you think Kia and Hyundai have exploded in sales in a last decade? They stand by their product and make something that doesn't fall apart. Not to mention they can also make a shitload of money selling extended warranties that are never used if they design the car to go as long as the extended warranty.

1) Original fill oil is very different than normal oil, removing it is going to cause more wear.
2) Original filter is usually very different too (at least on Toyotas).
3) You don't have metal floating around, it's called a filter...

Yet again, you have a filter. Magnetic drain plugs are for systems without filters; differential and transmission.
