Have you ever tried to use it? It covers a limited subset of parts and wear, to be determined entirely by them if they will honor it or not. Then YOU need to ship it not to them, not to Home Depot, but to one of their "authorized repair shops" -- a private owner general-purpose repair shop. Which the bar to entry is pretty much "I own a screwdriver and an inkjet printer for business cards." In other words, read their reviews -- you'll be lucky to actually GET it fixed. It'll probably come back worse.
Oh, and those repair shops are far and few between. So you're either paying out the you-know-what for shipping....or paying for your time + fuel. Maybe you have all day to burn traveling two hours each way, two different trips...but not all of us can burn an entire work day's worth of labor for a single repair.
It's all about Total Cost of Ownership. For what, a mid-range power tool? It's just cheaper to throw it out and buy a new one.

Upsides? I more often than not get back a brand new tool of the current generation(I only buy the "more expensive" line not the budget ones, so I always get the higher end newest generation tool. I am lucky to have a service center near my house though, I could see it being a pain if you don't. But, I have seen they have updated their processes for LSA to make it more easy if you don't have a service center.
I'd definitely see if you have a center close before you go all in on ridgid, and look up a bit more about it. I've used the LSA 4-5 times and been happy every time.
