The article addresses multiple of these...

  No, the article doesn't address at all why schools/businesses aren't unlocking. It doesn't address any risks associating with Apple having the power to unlock. And the article disingenuously claims MacBooks are being sold for "scrap" (which implies merely recovering materials like aluminum) and the intro scarily talks about processes for a part which "ground them into carcinogenic dust". The article doesn't even mention selling for parts until halfway through, and it presents that in a negative light rather than examining why that might be a tradeoff that makes perfect sense, especially since parts availability helps enable third-party repair. (I myself have sometimes found I could get significantly more money selling something as separate parts on eBay rather than as a working whole, which means it's actually better because there's more demand.)
