It's far from a certainty. Three years times 365 days is 1095 days. So in order for you to use up your battery's 500 charge-discharge cycles over those three years, you would have to do a full charge and discharge every 2.19 days on average. That's not very likely.
Extended warranties are very profitable for the companies selling them, which makes them a poor investment for the consumers purchasing them. Most people will come out ahead by taking the risk and self-insuring.
