As stated above, it doesn't quite work like that.
BlackBerry did the same thing with their devices; asked us not to take them apart, respect their inner-workings. It's said, but it's not followed. Heck, after my first BlackBerry dev device broke, I asked and they said "We have to say that, but feel free to do whatever you wish" and I did.
It was the same with the initial Tizen devices too.
It's not a loaner. In fact, I'd ask where you even got that notion. Care to share? Something concrete though; not opinion.
The same thing with all the companies you mentioned, but they gave it for free and I think they care less if you damage it as they had plenty of them and new devices. But Jolla seems to have limited number. They do not even provide warranty.
And from quote I saw from their email to customers:
"The protective cover over the display is meant to be kept on to protect the display, so please do not take it off when you receive the device."

You're saying that Jolla can claim the devices back anytime they want?

As stated before in this thread; those types of returned devices come with a NDA, an agreement that states otherwise. Such was the case with the Nokia devices, some of the Tizen devices, and many others. Now, whether those devices were ever returned, most were not even asked for after the lifetime of the device.
But why he is wrong?
tl;dr - Why he thinks otherwise, I've no clue. But it's seemingly the wrong assumption. It could be remedied by purchasing one, reading the actual terms and conditions as opposed to continue assumptions. But that's not what we're dealing with at all. This is a device offered to folks for a minimal entry fee, to do what they please but without a warranty. Open it up at your own peril.

Anyway, I suppose the only reason why you're warned against removing the protective cover is that once it's off, you won't be able to reattach it, and cutting out the holes necessary for a fitting cover would be tedious. I don't know if the screen scratches easier without the cover as I did not bother taking it off, and didn't actually notice there was a protective cover until I read it in the e-mail a few days later, so perfect it fits.

Also there's plenty of these glass-type display covers which are supposedly very good. (I have never seen one myself so this is just 2nd hand knowledge)
There should be something that more or less fits on top of the model-c, right? Because nowdays all phone devices look like each other...
(In reality I do not understand how those are supposed to work? How does the protective glass stick to the device glass? Do you need to use some glue or something?)

BTW LastuCase mentioned on twitter that they might make Jolla C covers. Nice to hear that the tablet-gate didn't completely put them off from Jolla products.

The Jolla C came with a T-shirt and a welcome drink instead.
Also, the device is not marked as property of Jolla, it's just marked as Limited Edition on the back cover.
