I don't know how it is in Europe, but in the US, a long warranty does not necessarily indicate a belief on the manufacturer that the product will last that long.

In many cases warranties are non-transferable (or only partially transferable), so a long warranty could just mean "We think you will sell this before it fails" rather than "We think this will last a long time."

This isn't a thing, and as a concrete counter-example:

https://www.tesla.com/support/vehicle-warranty

"Yes. Your New Vehicle Limited Warranty will follow your vehicle and be transferred to the new owner when a vehicle ownership transfer is performed through Tesla."

Does this imply that everyone who sells a Tesla privately voids the warranty?

No, when you privately sell your vehicle, you transfer it through Tesla.

I've never seen this on a car, which manufacturers have a non-transferable warranty?
