> only good enough against the average thief off the street,

Even there, only Apple has effective protection against street-thieves. Nearly all other models of phones/laptops can have their anti-theft features reset by a guy in a dark alley with a flash programmer...

So far, most thieves aren't interested in your info, they just want to reset the hardware and give it a new serial number.

Most other makes of phones and laptops aren't as valuable as Apple's to be big targets of theft. And Samsung has KNOX and Pixels have Google's Titan security.
