Probably stems from them doing standing starts - not putting the saw on the ground.
It also stems from the original selling price - those things went for $150 odd regular, then down to $120 or less sometimes.
The best I have heard is 'It's a Talon - it doesn't require servicing.'
That being said, I have also seen a guy with a stihl, sitting on a tin fence about to take a branch off the tree with the middle of the chain drooped about (no joke) 1 inch from the bottom of the bar.
