The problem being, if the device is so dead, that you cannot factory reset, or otherwise, wipe it, what do you do? My daughter's MacBook Pro, with lovely soldered down solid state memory died, and had to go in for repair. There was simply no way to wipe it, and no physical drive to pull. Same thing with most phones. Soldered storage, glued shut case. If it dies under warranty, what do you do? You have to trust the repair chain, or just chuck it in the garbage.
