i think there's a defcon talk from a decade ago about what it would actually take to have a "self-destruct button" like in movies just for some servers or hard drives and i don't think any capitalist would justify the expense when they can have somebody else pay for aerial bombardment or some shit.
Sort of, there's a lot that can go wrong with long term self-destruct systems that mean that it's unrealistically expensive or a huge risk to the thing you're trying to "protect".
Sure, absolutely. But, otoh, if it's the US Military behind it, then money's no object. My initial thought on something like a self destruct would be that if I could use it so could my enemies... But, that was also my concern about massive data collection and surveillance states, and that didn't stop them so...😅🤷♂️
Edit: but yeah aerial bombardment is what I would expect.

Pressing the comically large self-destruct button, but nothing happens because Raytheon cut corners and skimped on the fuse
