True.
The problem as I see it, is that it would be impossible to do accelerated wear testing on the entire assembly as it has to be set up to run at it's correct operating frequency.
Beta testing is the only way forward.

I understand that other mainstream and reputable manufacturers routinely make updates to service parts. Even for movements which are out of production.
Perhaps a watchmaker can confirm through their own experience?
