Warrenty or not

I just bought my 2020 NX and I swore to myself I would reject all the BS they try to sell you. I successfully rejected paint protection, Wheel and tire protection but I caved on the extended warranty when he discounted it. 5 yr, 125,000 miles for $2185. I drive alot of miles. I bought it because it is such a highly reliable car but I, too, feel better having it. I had such a bad experience with a BMW with out of warranty repairs that I still have nightmares. Next time!
Then my 4.5 years old, 84K miles NX300h started to behave a bit stupid, I brought it to my dealer who concluded (after a quick diagnosis, too quick for my taste) it needed a new ECU (Engine Control Unit): cost estimate of repair: 5500-6000 US$, with a potential "goodwill" participation of about 10%, as my car was out of warranty. ALL previous maintenance was done on schedule.
So yes: never again without extended warranty, whatever the reliability stats might tell ! … I'm still convinced Lexus ranks high on reliability, above other Premium brands, but in MY case, I was left out in the rain.

True or not?
I don't know whether the information is correct or not, but I've read posts here on CL that have said that, in the last couple of years, Lexus has changed its policies regarding selling extended warranties and that they no longer allow dealers to sell them to out-of-state buyers.
