I think the reasonable extent of "bricked" is: can you plug in a USB cord and use publicly available software to fix it? Or wireless equivalent.

Most automotive systems would be bricked by this definition. Very little of the tooling is open source/publicly available, reprogramming is usually a specific, non-default mode gated by passwords or cryptography and inaccessible to end users.
