Professional criminals will not be deterred because they will have tools to get around it yes.

But most cell phones are not stolen by professional criminals, far from it. Most cell phones are stolen by random people who see an unguarded cell phone and say 'hey...free cell phone!' and don't think through the consequences...

Measures like this will help to prevent that by making the stealing of cell phones to be too big of a headache for anyone but the professional criminals who are experts and won't be deterred anyway...
