The page is needed because Apple has no way of knowing whether you have turned your iPhone off for a couple of days or whether you’ve switched away permanently. It isn’t necessary if you do a factory reset of the phone, which also covers a lot of bases.

They worked with the mobile companies to get visual voicemail support, why not for this? How many regular users do neither of these things and just shove their old phone in a drawer or let their kid watch YouTube on it?
