Fair point, but that solution doesn't address the market for theft, so there's a tradeoff there.

Fairphone actually does this. My FP3+ displays a red bar with an open padlock as long as the bootloader is unlocked, and when one changes the bootloader lock one way or the other, the phone wipes itself.
