That is a
very real concern. These things are not cheap or easy to work on.
From what we have seen, problems are going to arise because people really do not understand their need for critical periodic maintenance, like changing the two different oils the PDK uses. We have already seen one car lose its wet clutches because the owner did not want to pay for the correct spec lube (use an aftermarket product he read about on a website) and did not want to pay a dealer to change out the lube (clutches require the use of a PIWIS system to correctly adjust the fluid levels). Net result was a whole lot of money pissed up a pole trying to save a few bucks. But these stories are the ones that flavor people's buying decisions.
