I think it's funny that you were so worried about activation lock not working that you can't even remember how to get back in after testing ![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
it's like changing the locks on your house only to throw away all the new keys.

find my iPhone is optional.
If you don't want your devices secured, that's your business, but a lot of people do. I'd rather not someone have all the info on my phone. If someone steals my phone right now, they can't even unlock it because I have Touch ID and a passcode. If they guess the passcode, good job, I'll remotely erase it, and they can't use it any further because activation lock is active.
If you're buying a used iPhone and you're not checking for find my iPhone, that's your fault. You don't buy a car without the title and the keys, right? It's a phone but if you don't care about being careful because it's "just a phone", anything bad that happens to you is deserved.
Nice username by the way.

Do you think all iphone users are so religious that before selling their phones they will do whats needed? Not a whole lot of sellers know about this nor a number of buyers know to do such level of due deligence and those phones end up in trash can losing buyers hard earned money .. It's a phone and should be treated like any other commodity and not a secure bank locker..
