>It turned out the device was a store demo unit that wasn’t properly wiped before it was sent to Collery. He said he used the phone for a couple of weeks before all of his data was erased, seemingly due to a remote action that triggered a complete reset

Losing all of your data is not a nothingburger.
And should be expected at any time without backups
