I see this argument constantly, but how many times have people had their phone stolen? Isn't it a better option to just have the phone have proper robust security preventing people without proper permissions to access personal data? It just seems a bit much just to prevent an unlikely scenario. I think that its purpose is for Apple to control who repairs and gain revenue from it.

Theft isn’t about the data protection. It’s about the parts scavenging. The data security part is on the flip side when someone might receive a phone with a counterfeit part that may reduce security (faking authentication etc). Parts pairing solves for both, but the two aren’t related beyond that.
