Probably so but that's for future collectors to worry about.
They made millions of these sets and I imagine the number that are used for CRT donors is miniscule compared to the number that get sent to the E-Waste centers every year.
I went to a Goodwill Distribution Center to pick up a small item I won on their auction, there were dozens of pallets with hundreds of sets going to the Recycler, most were BPC but there were a few older Sony's and some 70's sets in the bunch.
Better their tubes were harvested to repair games than to just be smashed up.
