Broken Screen

Why can't ATT design a phone that can hook to a computer or tablet if the screen breaks so it can be reset or erase data so people or transfer data it would really help a lot.

You mean why can't a phone maker do that. Att does not make phones. There are ways to a certain extent.

ATT doesn't build them, code the software , warranty them or insure them.  

They sell them.

As for your request, if you regularly back up via a cloud service, you have no worries.

google and iCloud  can back up and sync daily.

iCloud and android device manager can remote lock and erase your phone.  

All it take is a little planning ahead.

You can do that on an Android device. This is why I tell people to stop using lockscreens.

 

Because without a lockscreen you can connect via USB and transfer data to a PC.
