I just realized while unlocking our old ATT iPhones that Find My iPhone needs to be disabled to restore from backup and the email that I received from Apple regarding FMiP being disable probably applied to the new phone, not the stolen phone.
iPhone users are 11% less likely to request repairs. That suggests that, despite a delicate appearance, iPhones either are less prone to damage or their users take better care of them (or a mix of both)
I've seen a few people with iPhone's with broken screens. I wonder whether the you should consider the fact that some people cant be bothered to fix a broken screen and just make do.

The statement is about the frequency of requesting repairs so those with broken devices shouldn't be considered. This goes for devices from all vendors. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more busted Android-based (and Windows) devices that customers seem to be perfectly fine using with a poor experience. It's almost like Stockholm syndrome. The only time I really ever hear about people using a defective Apple device on internet forums and I usually say have Apple take a look at it.
Ironically before I had my Galaxy S2 and my current phone, Galaxy S3, I had an iPhone 1 followed by an iPhone 3Gs. My two Android phones have not broken down, had any parts replaced or have any damage on them of any kind. Where as my iPhone 1 needed a repair to the power button and my 3GS developed a screen fault and ended up being replaced entirely when the fix attempt in store made it worse.

I don't disagree, this would be great functionality to have, and increases the value of jail breaking.

I guess I can have some piece of mind
Both Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Phone lack any mechanism for similarly blocking reactivation of a stolen device by thieves
Erm, it is possible to remotely lock Windows Phones
