Only to you.

Sure it's left untouched. It also refuses to permit any further 
operation against the device until such time as the user says "Yeah, go 
ahead and wipe it". If you synch from your buddy's computer, you can't 
add something from your own library, you can't transfer what came from 
his machine to yours, you can't delete individual items from it - in 
short, you can't do jack shit with the device until you permit iTunes to 
wipe it.

I guarantee that it has to do with piracy. If it were "just" about 
synching, there'd be no problem whatsoever in adding stuff from 
"foreign" libraries. Or doing any other operation against the device 
without requiring it to first be wiped.
