Why aren't third-party Accessories compatible with Apple's Lost Mode?

So my headphones got stolen about three weeks ago(beats studio pros) and I did everything and tried everything to find them. Why is it that all other iPhone devices except headphones, have a lost or stolen mode Also, for third-party accessories, even though they’re signed to Apple are not compatible to mark them as lost or stolen like beats studio pros, for example

for third party accessories to support it the developers of the third party company would have to implement support for it, and that would mean extra cost for them so some may choose to skip it, it could also be that apple charge royalties for them to implement the feature.


TL;DR apple do not enable the feature for other devices, the makers of devices does.
