There’s a reason why the ‘98 Honda Civic and ‘97 Honda Accord are the most stolen cars to this day.

Anti-theft features largely work very well.

Removing the anti-theft features from very expensive phones is going to be a non-starter for the vast majority of people.

I thought the primary reason is the high resale value while also being extremely common. It also blends in well with traffic unlike a Ferrari.
