I bought a locked safe and the previous owner didn't give me the combination.

The safe maker is unethical and just making waste!

A safe has a pretty extremely effective security feature that prevents the kinds of thievery at the scale of Apple devices: namely, mass. A secondary contribution of course comes from the tendency to be placed deep inside a building.

Apple devices wouldn't sell at all if they tried to implement this kind of security.
