Resets also often change the android ID that much software uses to identify phones. So resetting may mean you have to opt-in to the beta testing again since it appears you have a different phone from some methods. It's pretty nuts this guy expects everything to work as normal when he reset the thing 21 times over. Resetting even once is a rare thing that many services won't be tested with.
Something not working because he reset actually proves why it is useful for custom support to have data on resets. Not that I would expect any hardware use data to be protected if I opted into a beta testing program. The whole point of that is to see how the hardware handles beta software.
Often with these programs the updates are just sent out at a certain time, so it's entirely possible to just miss the update period. Heck, I've seen that done with production updates, let alone beta ones. A friend with a Droid from Google IO didn't turn it on for a couple years, missed an update which was no longer available, and missed the termination of the free service to boot.
