Reply to comment by DMarquesPT in Activation Lock is a great feature, but needs a rethink as 2020 Macs are turned into landfill by hugglenugget

A more reasonable policy would be for Apple to make the Activation Lock time-limited (like, for 6 months or a year) UNLESS the owner reports the device as stolen. If the device was reported as stolen then Apple can make the Activation Lock permanent.

This is a great idea imo! Dunno why you're getting downvoted - The number of people who lose access to old email accounts or have family members die or are gifted apple stuff and don't know the original apple id is just going to keep growing and apple don't give a single fuck about the waste created.
