TPMS Sensor Replacement Question

Not a rav4, but our 2007 Sequoia keep having the tire light coming on. Finally took it back to Discount Tire and asked them if they could tell me which one was bad. The tech pulled out a sensor tool and identified 3 of 5 bad. I had them replace all 5. This cost me about $60/sensor which they ordered from Toyota. The part that surprised me is there was no labor charge - came with the tire service.

It does make me think about a few things. I know these sensors became more important after the Ford/Firestone debacle, but to be honest, maybe we're overcompensating for such a minor issue? Consider my question rhetorical. I'd like to know how many cars are on the road with those tire indicators on :)
