This. Normal AirTags are just fine for tracking your stuff.

The reason this was introduced is exactly because people used AirTags to stalk others. Advertising that your product turns that off is basically targeting that specific demographic.

That's true. But the advertised use case (tracking stolen items) is perfectly valid.

There were anti-stalking features from the start. It didn’t stop the media hysteria however.
