Require a Passcode when turning off iPhone!

Apple needs to make the passcode REQUIRED when trying to turn off a LOCKED iPhone to prevent thieves from turning the device off !! leaving the option simply without any authentication makes all the "find my" features useless in my opinion!


Having an e-sim in iPhones was a great added value for security which prevents thieves from simply taking off the sim card from your phone to kill cellular data and the ability to track your device. But leaving the option out to turn off the device completely without any passcode or authentication is just weird on an Apple device!


I've been seeing these complaints everywhere on the web ages ago since iOS 7 and earlier, i don't know if it has been posted on Apple's community somewhere recently, I've already sent multiple feedbacks for Apple, but maybe posting this here will help now.. we're in 2020, iOS 14 and this is still the same behavior :)
