So long as the one chip locking you out of the main board + some labor to reflow the solder is much cheaper than an e-scooter, it's worth it to the criminal.

With the read protection on modern chips it is feasible that you could make it close to impossible to find a replacement chip with firmware on it. Especially if its a no name brand and every brand has its own custom protection.
