While I do feel the same way, it’s hard to not draw a comparison to the way you have no idea whether a used ICE car was maintained either. Many ppl will go thousands of miles over the recommended oil life for example, or they won’t top off coolant, or they won’t service the transmission. Many of those will result in failure with expenses rising to that of a new car too. It’s just a reality of used cars.

I do think that in EVs though instead of many cheaper parts that can culminate into a huge cost for the buyer it’s much more scary to have one part that if it goes you’re just screwed.
