I believe this wouldn’t be as simple on iPhone because there is no easy way to do the restore like that on the phone itself.
DFU mode could be used but you’d need to a computer to finalize the restore process and somewhere along the lines will require your Apple ID credentials. Either in iTunes/Finder or when setting up the phone after restore.
Unless the owner has relinquished their account from the phone, then this may be possible using that method.
But having a SIM lock is still an extra layer of protection against these kinds of attacks.

Fuck off pedo
