I don't understand why Apple has not added a passcode requirement option to turn off the phone.

Probably because iphones(like any other phones on the market) do crash sometimes, and the only way to bring them back to life is to do a hard reset(usually hold the power button until the device shuts off) - it's a necessary engineering feature.

Holding the power button on my device (not iPhone) restarts the device, not shutdown. I think that would work too.
