Adding to edclange’s reply:


Presumably, you are under the impression that requiring a passcode would allow you to locate your phone if it’s been stolen.


The physics of the matter are that a criminal will ALWAYS be able to prevent you from locating your phone; even IF it were still “on.”


PLUS, the only individuals who should ever even consider approaching suspected criminals - trained law enforcement - already have other “technical locating means” at their disposal.


An iPhone owner should NEVER confront a suspected criminal, doing so might well end VERY badly.

There is a very practical reason why this feature doesn't exist. Being able to force restart a phone is an important troubleshooting step, especially if the phone has become unresponsive. If you were not able to do that because you needed a password which couldn't be entered because the phone was unresponsive, you'd have brick.
