But the provisioning check is forced on everyone. I don't think it's reasonable to enforce a provisioning process on every single person just because a small number of the devices go to enterprise-sized companies that want "zero touch" and Google (and their distributors) don't want the expense of stocking two SKUs, one set to require provisioning, and another not. I shouldn't have to prove ownership of my device to said device straight out of the box. A company should not have the ability to render millions of devices useless because they purposefully or accidentally shut off a provisioning service All this bullshit is so that Google and their enterprise customers save a few dollars.

So how much of a premium would you pay for the alternate sku?

> A company should not have the ability to render millions of devices useless because they purposefully or accidentally shut off a provisioning service Isn't this considering a hypothetical scenario where somebody buys one of these phones, tosses it in a drawer for years, and only later comes back to discover the provisioning server is gone? If you buy one of these phones it says it can be unlocked and you can't unlock it, Google is obligated to take it back for a refund or to eat a lawsuit from aggrieved customers for false advertising.
