P9PF Hinge crack, Google Japan wants to charge me $500

Hi guys, I am located in Japan and Google launched their first store in Tokyo yesterday.
My Pixel 9 Pro fold inner screen is completely dead and has a crack caused by the faulty hinge.
The service guy escalated my case to several leaders then after almost one hour wait he told me I need to pay for the service fee to get the RMA which is a P10PF…
The crack was caused by your faulty hinge dude!
Well…as much as I mentioned that, he still insisted that because there are cracks (which is caused by the faulty hinge) therefore the extended warranty cannot be applied to my device.
Totally disappointed…

ADVICE NEEDED
What would you do if that’s your case?
Thanks
