Much more likely some fool had a massive brain fart and didn’t even consider the possibility that plenty of idevices had been setup by someone for a technoklutz who never had an email address and who would never use the email address they needed to have to setup their idevice again and has just discovered how comprehensively Apple has fucked up yet again.
