Find My IPhone

Why doesn't the Find My IPhone just track the phone itself instead of relying on the SIM card? The SIM can easily be taken out by a thief like what happened to my cousin.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 12

It doesn't track the SIM. It requires an internet connection through wifi or cellular data.
