There's no data to support the argument, is just a guess that the hybrid components will fail. I believe there is already one or two owners I've seen that are approaching the 150k mile mark, and I don't recall any major issues when they last posted an update, at least nothing that was hybrid specific.
Here is your data:
The hybrid battery is warrantied to 8 years/100k miles so aside from the annoyance of getting warranty work done if something were to happen at least the battery is covered for that long.
Beyond that, yes it would be costly. And its a guarantee that the battery will fail at some point as all batteries fail eventually.
The rest of the hybrid components should be covered under powertrain warranty.

Have we seen hybrid batteries from Toyota or Ford fail regularly at 150k miles?
The mileage gains are not really that significant. I get 20-24 out of my non power boost 3.5.
This wide blanket statement is so wrong. It's all about your commute.
To prove this: I put my truck in sport mode (which basically cancels out a lot of the Powerboost EV time) and I got 13.8MPG on a commute that I get over 28MPG on. Sure, you can get 20-24MPG on the highway but there is zero chance you will match a Powerboost in any type of city/suburban driving.
Just a quick check of fuelly:
2023 3.5EB:
Based on data from 90 vehicles, 1,856 fuel-ups and 684,855 miles of driving, the 2023 Ford F-150 gets a combined Avg MPG of 16.45 with a 0.13 MPG margin of error.
2023 3.5PB:
Based on data from 88 vehicles, 1,509 fuel-ups and 629,486 miles of driving, the 2023 Ford F-150 gets a combined Avg MPG of 19.61 with a 0.18 MPG margin of error.

That's a 19% increase.
I don’t know what you’re talking about a blanket statement. I’m telling you facts my 3.5 ECOBOOST averages between 20-24 MPG that’s what it is. I don’t know about everyone else’s
it’s not a no brainer to get the power boost for everyone. If your someone who keeps there trucks 150-200k miles and beyond the power boost components will likely lead to expensive repairs. The mileage gains are not really that significant. I get 20-24 out of my non power boost 3.5. I like the power boost I’m not hating on it and if your someone who gets a new truck every few years it is probably a good choice. They build these trucks in so many configurations for a reason.

That blanket statement. The mileage gains are significant unless you are mainly highway.
My powerboost 2wd, my 60 mile commute (30 miles each way) 3 days a week, I avg 27-31 mpg and go almost 3 weeks between fill ups, avg 650-740 miles per tank (range varies on season and when I fill up)
