And there's really nothing else to go wrong with a strut. Sure, at 150,000 miles they may eventually wear out, but Koni figures that at that point many buyers won't bother paying to send their old one in to see if they can get a new one. Hell, it probably will cost as much in shipping as the strut is worth.
