It's pretty much a choice between creating a theft industry (according to Apple) by enabling device repurposing, or creating tons of e-waste. However, theft doesn't happen that often, but e-waste is 100% guaranteed when devices are obsoleted or self-bricking. The former is clearly better than the latter.

I'll stick with my Swiftpoint. Interesting concept though.

That's Apple's claim, I should have specified. I disagree as well.
Edit: I should also mention that few iDevices are stolen compared to those that are thrown out due to anti-theft measures built into those devices.
