Apple loves to do that kind of shit.
For instance, you can't factory reset an iPhone without connecting it to either an OSX computer, or a PC running their special program. Don't ask me what's wrong with just holding down power and volume up, or whatever. Like every other phone on Earth can do.
This is patently untrue. Settings -> General -> Transfer or Reset iPhone. You have the option from there to wipe all data, do a full factory reset, or transfer the phone's data to another device.
I've no idea where you're getting your info from.
Try it if you've been locked out due to too many PIN attempts.
Stop trying to reset stolen iPhones then, IDK what to tell you
