It's too expensive to make sure there's no recoverable data, that's why they generally don't. It's even too expensive to take them apart and parts are harder to donate as well (more work on the other end).

(On the other hand, if you're in IT there - very cheap computers! They usually trust their own personnel to be responsible and wipe everything properly/not look for anything before use. )

While it's sad I can understand where they're coming from.
