>log out of icloud and wipe.
Not log out of session but log out and wipe in the reset device menu. If it's confusing to me it's at least this confusing to the average person which in my opinion explains the piles of not stolen activation locked ewaste. The outcome of a process is its intent if it's not changed.

Reset and Erase all content and data are two different things.
I’d consider it a massive failure on Apple’s part if logging out removed ownership locks.
You’re concluding intent based on a process being confusing to you. That’s a massive and untenable leap. Like, repairing a toaster or building a rocket is complicated and can be confusing—that doesn’t prove conspiracy.
