Nuance: they can do this if you use their recovery feature.

That said, I agree with the people here... their motive is to make money and capture the NPC's in the market.

They leaked personal information and their customers faced the consequences, and their customers are not prepared to deal with the consequences because Ledger keeps them bubble wrapped instead of motivating customers to educate themselves.

The recovery feature will have consequences and many of their customers will face them while Ledger stands by and declares that the risks were clear to anyone who read the small print.

If you are looking to buy something for someone else, it is like buying them a semi automatic gun without any safety training. They will shoot themselves in the foot because they will take the path of least resistance and click all buttons that pop up and turn on all convenience options available to them without considering what their tradeoffs are.
