In warranties the burden of proof is on them by law, at least in the US. That doesn't stop companies from doing shady shit like this mate.
The model you propose seems to be the same as leases. Where you can lease a new phone with a mandatory insurance, the insurance replacement.

Not in Europe, here you have to prove it's not user damaged but you can't open it first. With the lease and insurance model it might still end up as "user-damaged".

That's a problem with your warranty laws, not the products.
These kinds of failures are common because most failures are from a bad draw, i.e., a part that has a defect because some percentage of parts does.
