> So why do they have to be the ones paying the price? What price? The original price of the device? Because we all do. Or the price of having to buy a different machine than the $200 MacBook from the shady person online which came without the original box, warranty or charger? For the same reason, and also because they're stupid. |

The price of having to pay a shady black market of "icloud unlocker" (usually through legit phone stores) to unlock of phone they have already paid for in good faith.
> the $200 MacBook from the shady person online
It's not just an online thing, and the person doesn't have to be shady (they're usually just a middleperson who have little clue). You can find questionable hardware in most open markets and second-hand shops.
> without the original box, warranty or charger?
Most second-hand hardware i purchase from legit sources comes with at least two of those missing (when not three) out of three.
> also because they're stupid.
I agree it's stupid to purchase a device you have no idea how to access/use/unlock. But i strongly disagree that good-faith people, who genuinely paid for an Apple device (after being advertised into thinking they need one), should suffer because of a lack of judgement on their part.
