Unfortunately people have this misconception that trans[missions/axles] can run forever on their own.


And even if you maintain it well, eventually, something will break down and that is when you do a repair (as opposed to your regular maintenance).



Of course; that's the nature of owning a vehicle. However, I'm talking about complete and utter failure as opposed to something minor. Would you expect your engine to run for 150,000 miles if you never changed the oil and only topped it off?
