There is nothing faulty in the hardware, why they should replace it?
Following the same logic: old phones, even iphones can be hacked. Should manufacturers replace the hardware?

There is no such thing as secure lock. Any lock could be open without original key. The difference is in the amount of effort.
Still baffles me that KIA sold cars which can be driven away using screwdriver and USB cable.
These in fact do exist, but they have properties unsuitable for many use cases, such as taking 8-24 hours to open if you lose the key/combination or a mechanical fault occurs, and being part of a system so heavy the floor beneath them have to be constructed to support the weight. (A friend of mine was a master locksmith for many years and worked on such locks, mostly for government contracts.)
In case of a lockout often the easiest way to open them is a brute force attack using a device called an autodialer.
The warranty is not that long, and I think the parent comment is talking about 6+ year old iphones that are definitely out of warranty.
If those should get replaced, surely that means each person buys one iPhone in their life, and then just gets free replacements forever, leading to the initial cost of the phone having to go up a lot to account for that.
