This is nothing new. In the 1970s, the official CDC diktat was to
reduce any surplused equipment to scrap. That included taking a
sledgehammer to disk drives and other objects. I witnessed lots of
functional gear done in this way.
Apparently this was to prevent surplus parts finding their way into the
supply stream--and then having to service them.
