How would or could they? Apple devices have the biggest second-hand market.

They can't prevent it, but they can certainly disavow it. By explicitly saying they don't support it or by making it harder to sell to the next person like region-locked or console-locked media.

I guess I'm surprised they don't! As the other commenter points out they have a page dedicated to this. I conflated their stance on secondary sales with their hardware and software self-service hostility.

Doing that is illegal in the US.

Right of first sale applies here.
