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.
