In the past, operational process often involved to wiping and reloading/re-imaging a device between users or to fix issues that have crept in.

In this sense, they might be appropriate between users within the same organisation or business sub-unit but not when end of warranty devices are being returned to lessor or sold on. Always take advice from your information security team before adopting one of these methods to ensure that it meets their need to protect your data.
