Doesn't that encourage to not spend that money and either buy a cheap rubbish one for looks or but nothing and take the chance?
Did they say it didn't affect the risk, or didn't affect the cost? You may find that once the risk goes above a certain level, it will make a difference. So, while it doesn't affect the cost now, it could reduce the cost of a future negative change (such as business travel or increased mileage).
