Do you think their priority at the moment is to make a fan belt that will last a thousand years or to get these in and out in under an hour with a complimentary oil change and a hot beverage?

I get your point, and I have a similar fear. But there is an (equally speculative) argument to be made, the one that I made above, for them going the other way on this. We will have to see.
It wouldn't hurt if we had something other than speculation to go on. It's impossible to see anything clearly through the distortion and emotion of forums.
