"should" or "actually can"? Do you have references to show that's the actual lifespan of the equipment, mechanically?

If you are the sort of person who needs a reference for "weight equipment lasts a long time", feel free. Whatever guilt and shame you think I should be feeling over such a claim, believe me, I don't. I'm more in the "feeling pity for you" department here; I've been around enough to know what kind of person types messages like this.
Weight training equipment lasts decades all the time. It's just big piles of metal, it's not hard to get right.
What actually prompted the engineering-CYA "should" is if the Android tablet is controlling some sort of robotic system for selecting weight sizes, that that system might have an expected life span on par with a tablet, being a physical thing moving around some pins or something in a potentially hostile user environment. That'll break long before anything else would.
