I have sold hundreds of soldered PCBs that I have made
Same thing is done with hard drives with the right parts and software. Can easily be fixed by a team of techs in a clean room sitting at each station .

same thing happens with Apple devices . Apple bought a dorm in China and pays workers 3 bucks an hour.
they are repairing hundreds of these in a day.
Tapemod! Timestamped video here: https://youtu.be/9W3-uOl4ruc?t=153
I have 2 shucked WD drives (white label HGST helium) working fine for years in an older Opti 7010 with their pins taped off. Without tape, they either don't spin up at all or cycle on/off rapidly because that PSU in the Dell is too old to properly deal with PWDIS on newer drives.
Some people sever the lead on the drive because they don't want to use tape that may fall off or adapters that may be at risk of melting wires (bad ones were reported to catch fire). I don't pull my media drives for fun so the tape has been fine. I've removed the drives perhaps once each and the lousy painter's tape has still worked perfectly. Cheap and easy solution IMO.
PWDIS is a standard (admittedly a standard they probably implemented backwards) so it's not likely to go anywhere. Newer PSUs will obviously alleviate this issue going forward but we all need to be familiar with it if we deal with storage on any regular basis.

Data Overwriting Process For Returned Products
This statement provides Seagate customers with an overview of what happens to data on products when returned to Seagate. In order to protect your privacy and other interests in data, you should delete all data, or as much as possible, prior to returning any product to Seagate. Seagate realizes, however, that you may not be able to erase certain data on returned products. In any event, Seagate will take the steps described in this statement to protect the physical security of such products and, if applicable, overwrite data as early as possible on products recertified by Seagate.
Seagate has coordinated with the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Center for Magnetic Recording Research (CMRR) to ensure that any products repaired by Seagate are in compliance with or exceed the appropriate U.S. Government specifications. Seagate repair processes follow Best Industry Practices which call for a Purging of data from the media. Seagate has verified that not only does its repair process overwrite user addressable locations, but the process also overwrites the non-user accessible locations. Seagate uses random characters, high-frequency patterns and digital zeros patterns to match the drive design technologies.
The Seagate repair process ensures that all data is overwritten in a way that exceeds the appropriate U.S. Government specifications. Seagate's process of media sanitization may be considered an advantage among those in the health industry user community (e.g., HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, April 2003, which enforces patient data privacy and confidentiality), the financial community, the government user community, and other users that deal with sensitive data.
In addition to its process of media sanitization, Seagate also takes steps to ensure the collection, warehousing, shipping, testing, recertifying and scrapping of disk drives meet Seagate security standards which generally exceed industry averages.
Seagate has established Standard Contractual Clauses which are in place among Seagate entities including the vender's Seagate uses to transport returned DNR hard drives. (Drive Not Ready). Standard Clauses are a lawful transfer mechanism for the extraterritorial transfer of personal end user data on failed disk drives from the (EU) European Union, to non-adequate countries outside the (EU) European Union. Some of the non-EEA European Economic Area countries, are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards. The full list of these countries are available Here.
For additional information on this subject, please see our document "Media Sanitization Practices During Product Return Process".
If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to contact Seagate.

Drives just dont die after 2 years or even 5 years . They will either be sold or used somewhere else. I have 80MB Sata and IDE hard drives from 1998 LOL that still work like out of the box
but whatever makes you feel better. Lets see i am about to spend 5k to expand my 2 PiB chia crypto farm. Should i buy from new egg, at 199+ tax or spend 160.00 ea no tax , free quality shipping, 2 year warranty for recertified.
seeing how i have a 8.75% state tax my total bill is around 5450.00 at newegg. I would get around 25qty X14 14TB "crap X14"
if i spend 160 ea X18 14TB recertified 2 year warranty i would be spending 160 bucks ea
31 qty total at 5000.00
yeah i get it . 434TB vs 350TB dumb Egg. This is just my use case, and someone building a true nas or unraid system would also go my route.
We're not arguing whether "new is better" but comparing prices on deals of used/refurb/recert vs the "new" postings on SD is pointless.
As an aside, did you see where Apple wasn't paying it's contractors? Was a huge revolt. Can you imagine the revenue that Apple makes and it won't pay it's workers.

I have a good point when it comes to Seagate vs western digital. you have no argument here. I should know which brands are better

At least I stay on subject. You just post to troll others and it has everything to do with purchasing a hard drive. If you cannot understand this then you may want to stay off forums and take an english class or read more books, this may help you understand what people are trying to convey.
