Aunt has an SHX878ZD5N installed Sept 2019. Some rack deterioration has developed. The photo is a fold-down divider that they largely leave down, although the affected area doesn't seem to rub or abrade against anything if it's moved. A few tine tips are also rusting. They put tine-tip covers on them, which I didn't want to disturb for pics. There may be other areas they haven't yet noticed. A load was accumulating and I didn't want to pull everything out for a detailed examination.
Is the deterioration expected even on a Bosch in less than 5 years? They're on a well, have a water softener and use pods ... but don't sink-rinse before loading and scraping is moderate. She has remarked about the "really dirty stuff we sometimes put in and it always comes out clean."
