Who still has their original IMSB? And why?

I bought my latest 2000 996 3.4 with 130k miles and a leaky RMS for a song. It was a local car with a stack of dealer receipts from new.
I took it to the dealer, where they did the RMS, IMS, and some odds and ends for $1,500. They came with a two year, unlimited mileage warranty.

At that price and with the other things you had done I dare say it was the IMS end flange and bolts that were replaced, along with RMS and some odds and ends.

Hope this doesn't come across like I'm raining on your parade but at that price that IMS job did not involve an IMSB upgrade.

I'll still be into the car for less than a new WRX.

I debated whether to even post this question, since I'm pretty sure it's going to be misinterpreted, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.
When the Guardian goes off, it's an indication that you now have metal in your oil pan and you need to shut the car off. However, once there's enough metal in the oilpan to jump the electrodes in the Guardian plug, isn't it also true that you likely have metal everywhere you have oil in the motor? My assumption based on other posts is that just replacing the bearing at the point you already have bearing debris throughout the motor is stupid, since you can't ensure that you won't be pumping metal fragments through the replacement bearing. This seemingly makes the Guardian an indicator that it is now time to flatbed your car somewhere to have the engine torn down, cleaned, and reassembled - so I'm unclear on how the Guardian is better than getting on a maintenance schedule that includes replacing the bearing at appropriate intervals...
