Not entirely true.

Several times aIready I have been glad having kept them when I had to return devices because of warranty stuff.

So it makes sense to keep the boxes for half a year or so.

Real problem is, in reality I still have smartphone boxes dating from 2005 lying around which I am just too damn lazy to sort out... ๐Ÿ˜’

you don't need the original box for this, I usually throw it away after a month (the delay for full refund in some shop)

Much easier to send back and no discussions about completeness.
Full refund period over here is 2 weeks, but very customer friendly warranty regulations after that.
