I've been that guy broke down in Robson pass with no cell service and a busted belt tensioner hitch hiking to McBride to borrow a car and pick up parts for a roadside repair - but I see just as many late model trucks broke down as older ones.
I tarp for the trip to & from the hills but rarely from the staging area to town and back - my Axys didn't come with a tarp and it was the first thing I bought

well maybe you would get that 5k your asking anyways lol
but really its not just the resale of the sled its the damage and possibility of being stranded in the backcountry from something that could be prevented. take care of your stuff and it will take care of you is my opinion. Sure some will beat the Pizz out of their machines no tarp no maintenance and it will go forever. But thats not always the way the cookie crumbles.
In regards to driving fancy trucks on those roads. Might seem ridiculous but the last thing anyone wants to be is stranded in the rogers pass with some old beater lol. Trucks are built for crappy roads and the best you can do is wash it and take care of it and it will last. Not much you can do about that one. My truck was nice and new at one point. Im over 400k now from roadtrips from edmonton to sicamous and edmonton to valemount over the last couple years. Its still in very good shape from regular washes.
