Yea, but philosophically, you shouldn't have to opt in (to opt out) - if I don't want to any part of apple's ecosystem, this forces me to actively opt out.
I mean, you could be hanging out with a friend who has chosen to wear a tracking device. I'm not really sure how far you can go with this idea.
What do you want them to do? Shoot brain waves in to your skull to notify you without any device?
There's really nothing they can do short of not doing the airtags at all. The spectrum does not belong to them, it's leased to them and they are a user. We can ask for oversight.
No, the airtag owner is the user.
Google/Android already scans for BLE beacons. It could add a notification for a BLE beacon it sees following users.
What about Tile and other AirTag competitors? None of them even have an app to alert you to unwanted trackers at all.
No love for them either - but your retort is pure whatabout-ism - it doesn't address my core complaint.
