Don't know about any other vehicles, but even if we don't lose power-steering, in my truck, the steering wheel locks solid when the ignition is shut off.
Pretty hard to steer that way. But this whole issue is something else entirely. Has nothing to do with 'failure of a part', it has to do with how a company handles issues that fail.
It's about the attorneys and engineers trying to find a way to absolve themselves of the responsibility. Mostly every mechanical or electronic part fails at some point or in some way, not very part, but at least some of each part or brand. And we NEVER, EVER get the complete story.
How a company deals with that issue is important to its future, and the trust its brings to its customers.
I can't disagree with your post but my 2006 D/A nor my 2013 D/A Crew cab locks the steering wheel when the ignition is turned off. When rolling the steering becomes increasingly difficult as the truck slows down. I would hate to be in a position of pulling my RV with out power steering.
