Yeah, the current implementation of activation lock does not brick 100% of the laptop. But nevertheless, since the video is about locked Macs being scrapped, the value of the parts must be pretty low. > Environment be damned, right?

Even if it did, the part still have value.

I mean, screens, ram, hard drives etc are worth whatever they are worth.

When they steal they don't often know what type of machine they are stealing as they can't see in bags.
The suggestion I made is better for the environment without making things better for thieves.
