I am not sure I buy the, "they will trash the frame so the user will buy another."
If a frame is prematurely damaged due to an IS headset, I would imagine that rider would be a little pissed at the manufacturer and probably not buy another frame from them..thus making the statement wrong.
If they were to buy another bike, I would imagine they would then move to a non-IS headset, thus passing up that manufacturer and others like it....
I think it has more to do with initial cost for the bike..
