Thanks, Michael, I think we're in sync. I'll take on board your "reset
to default configuration".
Now I wonder where this idea of the "two types of factory reset"
actually came from? Never mind... We're all aligned, that's the key.

I agree.

I think that this is the activity that one usually wants when some
button is held down. Deleting the LDevID is probably more than most
operators expect.
Deleting the LDevID brings the device back to "unowned" state.
Some devices should support such a thing, and some simply should not.
Some should require a screwdriver/jumper/etc.
In particular, being able to reset to default configuration may be
something that should be easy to do for a untrusted operator
(i.e. CPE in residential setting), but which shouldn't change the onwership.
