I’d guess they want it under 4,500 on the odometer. Probably keeping it under 5,000 miles has psychological value in terms of being able to sell it as a “new” car.

I mean, if you’d make that same trip in your car, why think twice about doing it in a loaner? That’s the whole point, to replace your car while it’s in for work.

Granted 10k miles is 8-9 months of driving for the average American and pretty tough to do in any reasonable repair time unless you are using the car commercially (which feels like it should be a separate type of loaner situation).

It should be noted that SanDisk is owned by Western Digital and any contempt should be applied to them as well.
