The idea that all customer data will be deleted is far fetched, but I feel like there have been some massive incidents. Crowdstrike comes to mind, but I feel its entirely possible that Apple/Google/etc could push out some kind of config update which bricks phones in a way they are unable to download another update to fix them.

Though I'm sure the major players are all over this risk which is why it hasn't happened.

Google wiped all of UniSuper not too long ago by mistake, I don't see why such a occurrence couldn't happen more widely.
