Something that should be considered when buying your micromobility device: Try to get something that will last and not end up as trash.

But when they are recycled by the thousands and the large institutions that don't release them after the handoffs. It hurts the used market significantly more.

That sounds like the institution's fault not Apple's.

Institutions have been unloading machines with bios passwords for eons, it's nothing really new other than it's much harder to bypass it.

Doesn't exactly help that apple also says not to bother deregistering if it takes too much time.
