@kirb @mac84tv I think MDM and activation lock should have a timeout at the five year mark. Once the machine is old enough that it's not really worth that much anymore, allow someone physically present to wipe it and remove it from MDM.
It wouldn't be hard for Apple to implement, and would give these machines a possible second life.
THAT SAID, these Macs don't support being activation locked; they're too old. They're being trashed for no good reason.
