This also implies that if the encryption key is that easy to dispose of, then it's also easy to somehow lose or screw it turning your valuable client data into a random stream of bytes, doesn't it?

They can dispose of it in the same way that they dispose of the actual core data (ie write over it X times, and ensure when disk is EOL that it's shredded). With cryptographic erasure you can do exactly the same erasure process on fewer bytes and get the same effective results.
