i’ve even received them as gifts (very expensive ones) but i just threw it in the trash

Wouldn't it have been better to tell the gift giver that you're really happy that they thought if you, but for security/moral reasons you don't want to install it? At least they could have returned it and got their money back.

not really in that situation

They also wouldn't have noticed that they hadn't installed it. Honesty in the best policy.
