Umm... does that mean that those Macs can't be repaired in 3rd party shops either now? Since if I remember correctly, on iPhones the repairers can't replace the secure bonded components anymore.
No. Repair means broken parts get replaced but the same owner (thus the person who activated the mac) will get the device back.
This new feature simply means macbook robery will go down like the cellphone robery went down after activation lock became normal.
Thus, a better world.
