How do you define "user computer"? We run a bazillion tests on our stuff during manufacturing. Stuff is plugged in/out of Windows boxes over and over on the manufacturing line.
It's hard to tell where that "last step" might be. Boxing? Shrink wrapping? Delivery to Amazon's warehouses?
Our ASICs have efuses to disable insecure firmware changes. (Need insecure fw updates during fw development.) During dev we wind up having to scrap parts because we blew the fuse prematurely.

It's a tough logistical problem.
