I've... never heard anyone say that, and can't imagine a manufacturer saying that. Personally, I wouldn't drop 2 large on a frame with a disposable fork. Or perhaps I should say, I wouldn't drop 2 large on a frame where the manufacturer has so little confidence in its own fork that they recommended a full replacement every 5 years....
The search function is quite powerful if you know how to use it.
I suspect the folks that suggest a new fork every 5 years are the ones who sell forks. Kinda like the helmet manufacturers saying you need a new helmet every 3 years.
