Somebody can’t steal your phone and pull the SIM card out so that it can’t be tracked.
As long as you don’t have the ability to enable airplane mode or disable cellular data from your notifications shade, you can’t stop it from being tracked if it’s stolen unless it’s physically powered off. And as soon as it’s physically powered on again, it’s immediately trackable.
In another comment, I specifically acknowledged that you could not track a device that is powered off, but as soon as it is powered back on, it would be trackable again.

There’s a thing called the power button. You can’t track a phone that’s turned off
If the phone is in China, what are you going to do about it
