In my naivety I thought that Apple encouraged their communities to comment
on issues that they thought relevant, in my opinion, obviously from your point
of view I am wrong and you think this issue is not worth discussing.
As to Apple only having responsibility to the original owner of the phone and
no one else, your quote, are you quite sure, a lot of people who bought
second hand phones will not be pleased with your comments.
And the onus was on the sellers of those second hand phones to properly prepare their personal property for sale, which includes removing activation lock. Again, if the seller did not do that, and the buyer failed to check it was done, that is on those two parties, not the company that originally sold the device at retail, or who manufactured it. Apple has responsibility to the original purchaser that they, or their authorized sellers, sold it to. Once it was originally sold, it became the responsibility of that new owner to secure, or unsecure, their own property If or when it was sold, given away, auctioned off, pawned or whatever.
