They have the same system. The phone is tied to your account and you can track, lock and erase it remotely with Google's Find My Device.
Except you can more easily wipe the os at a low level and fully factory reset the device. That’s not possible with iPhones.

yeah, factory reset protection, it wipes the user data, but will refuse to fully finish setting up the the os after the reset until the google acct is verified..
