One of the arguments to be made about locking components and enabling rapid software lock-in in case of theft to, precisely, break the economical incentive.
On the other hand, the trade-off of repairability, "right to repair" and all the things those businesses and people like Rossmann have been fighting for get affected by the component lock-in.
There must be some kind of middle ground: my bet should be full customer sign-out could then enable the parts to be re-used (anything else should render the device and its components unusable).
