Don't manufacturers purposefuly destroy the computers and such just to ensure that doesn't happen?

    No. Manufacturers have no say in what happens to computer hardware after is sold.

    Some companies may destroy the hard drives to make sure no data gets out. Some companies will remove the memory as well.
