> If the phone doesn't turn on you can still queue up a wipe from Find My Device which would've prevented this.
That's assuming that a competent technician couldn't disable that feature. For example, it's hard to ensure that some software issue (eg: software/hardware interaction) has been resolved if you just wipe the device!
Huh? If it's not official software then it's not Google's problem and they don't care. If it is official software then it would still be there post-wipe and therefore it wouldn't be difficult at all to ensure that the issue has been resolved. Of course, that's all moot because wiping the device wouldn't be a step to take in the case of a driver (or other software) issue anyway.
