Yeah I just can't buy that argument -- anything designed to be removed and affixed is inherently repeatable and even potentially improvable. Expecting perfection from a first-assembly, and assuming everything has been installed correctly from the factory is a heavy bet. You'd be shocked at how many loose-fitting tabs, clips, plugs, etc. I've come across when fiddling around to get things removed. You can even employ little tricks with those pieces to get a better-than-factory fit when reaffixing panels, particularly with interior trims, headliners, etc., where most of your rattles arise.
Regarding razorblades -- in order for a razorblade cut to cause potential issues years down the road, it would have to be deep enough to be visible from the onset. That's going to be noticeable on close inspection, and even then I think you're more likely to damage your paint doing basic off-roading stuff while enjoying the truck for what it is. I mean, these are Baja trucks afterall; I don't think anyone is seriously concerned about about imperceptible razorblade cuts rearing up in 4-5 years when we're throwing sand, gravel and rocks at it at 60 MPH+. This is where the additional protection of XPEL really outweighs the small possibility that you'll endure some phantom cut from a razorblade wielding mad-man.
