Saddest six-word story:

"For sale: gifted Ledger, never used."

Is the sad part the lack of adoption...

... or is it that the buyer is about to have a bad time?

Yes.

Sure, though that's only zero risk under the assumption that the user desktop starts out uncompromised when running the Ledger Live software during setup. And if you can make that assumption, that removes part of the value prop of buying a Ledger to begin with.

You can safely buy used ledgers. Resetting completely wipes it and ledger has a “genuine” check when you connect for the first time. Zero risk if the check passes
