It's an attack vector that means some of the protection you thought you had if your device is lost or stolen can be bypassed.

You seem to feel there is no benefit to this protection (from non-owners of the device), and instead is protecting the device from the owner. Would you care to expand on that?

DRM keys.

This is exactly the kind of attack that's used to extract DRM keys, which are normally made completely inaccessible to the user by malicious device vendors.
