I’ve bought plenty of used Apple devices over the years. That’s how I could afford my first iPhone and iPad as a student.

The only reason they’re accumulating is because the previous owners didn’t do their due diligence before getting rid of the devices. Removing activation lock when wiping a device is not hard.
