I think the trick there is that you reset it before selling it.
In my experience dealing with iphones from departed staff, if the iphone is locked to an icloud account there's essentially nothing you can do to get access to it. If you do a DFU restore of the firmware it still comes up with an activation lock. Pretty sure that's what this article is describing for the new apple silicon laptops.
