Because there is no way to communicate that option to the device: Find My iPhone: Lock and track your device using Lost Mode
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
"If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your missing device
If you didn't turn on Find My iPhone before your device was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate your device. But you can use these steps to help protect your data:
Find My iPhone is the only way that you can track or locate a lost or missing device. If Find My iPhone isn't enabled on your device before it goes missing, there's no other Apple service that can find, track, or flag your device for you."
No.
Why?
Thanks. It just seems like it should be possible.
It is one of those locking the barn door after the cows have been stolen situations.
