This is why I don't sign in or enable 'find my' on any of my devices. Apple even has a backdoor which bypasses the encryption, allowing them to wipe a device in store.

Logging in takes control of your device out of your hands.

Why would you need to bypass encryption to wipe the device?

Because that is the way apple designed it. Try wiping a locked apple device without the password or recovery key.
