Apple doesn't care if your device gets stolen. This is to prevent 3rd party repairs and refurbishment.
A stolen device has zero effect on apple's profits, but a repaired reused device does.
The sad thing is that others copy such "features" and in the end you will not be able to install or use a device that isn't "safe". How long until a democracy like the US or EU will dictate what is allowed on a device?1984 is coming and we are thinking it's a good thing because we can have a bit more "safety".
