This is debatable but must be true to a certain extent.

The reason is simple and becomes even more simple when looked at in detail. None of Apples parts are designed to last forever, yet Apple specifically designed the new (aluminium) case to be impossible to open (even by them) without breaking them, thus costing them at least as much as a new product to fix your old one.

They will charge you that in full, even if you just need your battery replaced (which you will as batteries only keep their charge for 3-5 years before they need the chemicals in them swapped out)

The same applies to the Capacitors on your board and the fact that the case retains lots of heat (as aluminium is a lager absorber of heat than plastics and most other metals used in case design). This makes the parts inside get hotter and stay hot for longer periods of time, slowly damaging them over time.

Can you get a home warranty if your previous warranty has expired?

You can get a home warranty at any time if you own a home. If you set up a warranty upon purchasing a home and aren't sure if you want to renew it right away when it expires, you can always buy coverage again if you decide you want it back later. Make sure you know when your warranty is set to expire, however, so if you plan to continue coverage, you don't risk having something break in between plan periods.
