As funny and appropriate as this is, I thought a bit more about it, and had
a second thought...

If it were not the default that these services were turned on, this
wouldn't be such an issue. Then it would be the case that specific effort
would be needed to enable the facility for authorized users.

The bug isn't that remote wipe is possible, the bug is that it's turned on
by default, and requires effort to turn it off.
