No, it's making sure you have an LBS who is capable of being an LBS in 2019, not stuck in the past, Any LBS today should have the capability of servicing electronic shifting bikes, and if they are selling them and they can't, they shouldn't be in business.

Granted that Electronic shifting isn't too user serviceable, but for those who can easily afford it, would be surprised if they are capable, or wish to do more than change an innertube and then only if really needed (these are good customers for LBS's)

It's beneficial for Shimano and SRAM to ensure that all bike shops can service their components, I know my LBS has had training from Shimano (would be very surprised if Shimano doesn't do this for all markets worldwide) for this, also for E-bikes, again, if they can't service Bosch and Shimano, they need to look at what they want to be as a shop,
