And probably not even then in truth.
They many or may not agree to exchange what you may consider faulty
goods that do not meet the spec. I know of no firms that will offer a
pledge that all their millions of products are perfect and will always
stay that way.

So how do you check the system you are using is working properly?
You test it from time to time.
You do the same for overclocked systems.
After all components drift with time and sometimes some drift such that
the item no longer works reliably, guarantee or no, overclocked or no.

Even if you don't, how do you KNOW this?
You don't. Mostly because things don't always work all the time and in
all circumstances whether guaranteed or not.

The same certainty you have with any product.

Your argument is specious in the face of the overwhelming evidence of
experience some of which has been posted to this thread.
