This can be done via a dedicated factory reset or wipe feature. It doesn't need to be the responsibility of rm.

It sounded like you were arguing that no program should be able to do it, which makes it somewhat difficult to implement a wipe feature. (And whatever wipe/reset feature we have needs to be done by some operating system, because a solution that requires adding new features to everything's firmware is a non-starter in practice)
