Yes they do. Look, this is really a no-brainer industry standard:
a) Companies have been giving out devkits for pennies. You want as many developers on board (needless to say, a NEW developer has to fork out a lot of cash up front to become a developer) as you can get. If MS wants Kinect2 to be the Do-It-All, they have every interest to get as many developers on board as possible. If they simply write off the hardware (big IF, see b), they'd probably lose less than a million doing so. This is pocket change compared to dev costs of Kinect2.
b) Where does it say you own the Kinect2s in the devkits?
