No camera body is guaranteed or covered by warranty to reach those numbers! That's very misleading...
One could think the manufacturer would back up their claims of shutter life expectancy with a longer warranty period. Although you can purchase Canon extended coverage, it IMO should be included in a camera with a premium price tag such as the R5. As long as the expected shutter count is not exceeded during the warranty period.

You're not going to get a drive manufacturer to warrant drives all the way to their MTBF. Nobody is going to warrant anything all the way to the point they've tested it to fail--they would have to replace nearly half their sold units. That would be economic foolishness.
It's only been since the 80s that manufacturers have even disclosed their shutter MTBFs.
