Likewise 06, my son is running my old Pulsar Apex and still going strong. I have a buddy who is running my old Pulsar 19 monocular for squirrel hunting. They will still do the job, but as you mention technology advances at such a rapid pace and cheaper prices that a lifetime warranty would be practically useless because within 4 or 5 years, it is all outdated. That doesn't mean one couldn't still kill coyotes with it, but it would be like watching tv on an old tube set.
