In theory it's not needed since you could report your phone's IMEI as stolen and the phone would be block, for some reason it's not common among operators http

An iPhone can still be used without cellular data as a "premium" iPod touch, plus blacklists aren't worldwide and phones can be sold in foreign countries (a worldwide blacklist can be problematic due to standards of proof for theft and corruption being different - do you really want a third-world country to be able to dictate which phones can and can't be used worldwide?).
