Ah so now you shift the topic to long haul truckers. Initially (and what you are driving) is a passenger car. Completely different animals there. I guess that is because your position is flawed so you try to change the game. Long haul trucks generally travel much higher mileage annually and much higher total miles before engine work is necessary, but then you know that.
Hey if you want to offer your car as a guinea pig, it certainly is your choice. If I spend $250 for 100k in oil changes, versus several $1000s for an engine, you will never convince me your position is valid.
Use your brakes until they are metal to metal, as well as the clutch. Run your wipers until they gouge grooves in the windshield. Don't waste some soap and water washing that car either.
When you are done saving a little money and time thoroughly neglecting a major investment then you will have scrap metal instead of a decent used car that someone might actually pay you some money for. I made a living taking car of peoples cars. Although it might have benefited me financially I never wasted MY time trying to educate some people of the value of care and maintenance. Don't bathe, brush your teeth or do any other personal hygiene because you are convinced that every product you need to do that is satisfying someone else's agenda for profit.
Go back to the year 1900 when life expectancy was 42 in the US, or maybe ancient Rome when it was mid 20S. That's your choice. It will never be mine.
The reason you never offered any examples of passenger cars, privately owned, reaching the million mile mark is obvious.
YOU HAVE NONE
