I have posed the same question myself, and never received a convincing answer.
I feel the same towards any concerns I had too. It seems the axles manufacturers put out service info that adequately covers their butts, and would remove them from any legal actions should something happen. I see the same thing with so many things these days. I know structural very well, and am a Civil Engineering Technologist, so not a full engineer who can stamp plans, and see how much overkill is designed into simple residential structure. It more than adequately covers the engineers butt, but often costs us (and in the end the customer) a lot more money than needed.
In rereading that paragraph, it seems that I feel the is a lot of butts being covered.
Oh the joys of living in a litigious time. :
