As far as my knowledge is concerned, many big companies take multiple computers for lease in huge numbers to complete their task. They are bound by laws and policies, to erase all their confidential data from the hard drive with the help of secure data erasure software, before handing over the computers to their original owners. If found guilty both the company and their employees have to face heavy fine or even imprisonment or both. So there is no harm to erasing data because no one want to compromise there data and become victim of data breach.
