Why would activation lock prevent stealing a new phone? Definitionally a phone that has not been sold doesn't have an account tied to it.

Apple can still lock those phones. They track what is in stock and what has been sold

Doesn't need an account. It just needs to not be able to be activated anymore, because the serial number is "marked" as stolen.
