It’s all about raising the bar for mishandling. Sure, if an unethical handling company messes up your shipment they could go at it and try and reset the indicator(s), but they could also just get the job done right and not risk getting sued if the client does detect the tampering. On the other hand, without indicators there’s nothing stopping them from pretending they didn’t just throw your box around...
