I have bought and sold secondhand Apple devices (Macs and iPhones) many times without problem. What are you basing your comment there on? Yes, as an anti-theft measure, the seller has to explicitly log out of the device before transferring it. Erasing the device prompts you to do this. Apple has many, many faults, but I don't see this as one of them.

The problem is that most people do not log out of their device when they discard it. And as long as the device is linked to its iCloud device, it is forever locked and cannot ever be used again.
