Apple products being bricks described as "functioning as intended and therefore a good thing" by Apple fanatics is laughable

  It is a good thing. The most valuable bit of the computer is the data on it. Apple security: * can prevent the data from falling into the wrong hands * significantly reduces the value of a stolen machine, which acts as a theft deterrent

    The data can easily be well encrypted while the enduser retains full control. And if it's really just about the data it doesn't matter if the machine gets stolen if it's properly encrypted.

    it's perfectly possible to just encrypt data and not completely destroy the machine. bricking the device for the actual owner because it might get stolen one day is Mutually-Assured Destruction levels of lunacy.
