Are you aware if this is a Samsung only feature or built into Android?

as mentioned before, Android 9 and above has Lockdown mode.

Thanks I'm aware of lockdown mode, however it does not prevent shutdown as far as I know.

The Samsung feature is not really to protect the data, but to provide extra time to track the thief. As far as I'm aware, only Samsung has this kind of feature, which I like, but I dislike using Samsung phones.
