Section 105 explains explicitly that it's not a warranty:

>For example, the statutory right may not be breached and so a consumer would not be able to obtain a remedy if, say, a very cheap kettle stopped working fully after four years, as a reasonable person might not expect a bottom of the range kettle to last that long.

We’re not talking about a cheap kettle however, are we?

You said

> but in the EU and UK, consumers get 4-6 years of hardware warranty, on all tech products

[tymscar]

And thats true. A kettle isn’t a “tech product”. If it is one of the expensive IOT kettles, then it’s covered.

The law you linked to doesn't make any distinction between tech products and other products, so I'm not really sure what you're getting at at this point. It's clear that there is no 4-6 year warranty. There are other protections which are lesser and quite open to interpretation. It's definitely good to let people know about these protections and they are indeed useful, but they are not a warranty. The period of 'coverage' has nothing to do with the 4-6 year period mentioned in 105 (which is the limitation period for breach of contract), but rather the subjective interpretation of how long a 'reasonable person' would expect a given product to keep working without fault.
