Technology can build in anti-theft systems. This is a feature of the new iDevices and T2 laptop line by Apple.
Fun story a colleague bricked a MacBook Pro by simply erasing the hard drive which kicked in the T2 anti-theft system. Top case (keyboard), logic board, drive, fans, T2 board, etc. all had to be replaced to restore it in working condition. That is a $1800 repair on a $3000 laptop. I think the parts may have to authenticate to the chip so a full parts replacement needed to be done. Or Apple was being wasteful, one of the two.
