They do it to keep from getting sued and typically the manufacturers require that they do it. Way back before I did adult, I was supervisor for a guy that had contracts with several Target stores to maintain their floors.

We used to see them trash so much shit it was amazing. It's pretty much standard operating procedure for all dept stores and is normally done to reduce their legal liability. Most manufacturers do not want the products back and require damaged/discontinued goods to be destroyed.

It's not a Walmart thing it's a industry thing due to law suites.
