I think the entire point is that the process is confusing and easy to mess up. Even if there is a way to successfully do it, that doesn't take away from the point being made that the OP commenter tried to do this and failed. Telling them they did it wrong doesn't change that argument.

I mean, you can't really get much simpler than the process, I've got to be honest.
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iphone. It's the first google search result from "how do I reset my iphone". It works 100% of the time and is so simple my mom figured it out on her own.

That's a fair point! It isn't the only one that was made.
OP concluded that the activation lock "only exists to create ewaste and pad the bottom line" [1]. That's the contentious part.
