As well, I personally feel that Factory Reset Protection (FRP), iCloud lock, and Activation lock are incredibly wasteful in that they are intended to function indefinitely, and make the device (and in Apple's case, individual components) functionally useless (except emergency calls on phones). But a lot of folks aren't ready for that conversation. I think a sort of cooldown period should exist such that after a period of time (idk, a year?) since the device was lost, stolen, etc, it should securely wipe its contents and remove the lock, rather than dooming the device and its parts to the landfill, or an inefficient recycling and metals reclamation process.

    Yeah, coming back to this, users having to jump through ridiculous hoops to unlock the bootloader of a device they own, if they are able at all in the first place, is dystopian as fuck, and should be illegal.
