There has been something in place that can achieve this for a while. I had a MacBook Air stolen in 2014, and got it back a few months later with everything intact. I had a BIOS (or whatever the Mac equivalent is) password set, so without some serious work (more than the average thief) it was impossible to reset the machine. I also had the disk encrypted, so even if they managed to bypass that they wouldn't be able to access my data.
