You need Apple’s permission to wipe a device so when you steal a device, you can’t wipe it and sell it. It’s part of Apple’s ongoing efforts to prevent stolen devices providing any value when stolen.


If this is mandatory, then it's not really your device.


Well, the alternative is that it's not your device either when someone steals it, it's now their device. The average user cares far more about that
