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.
Hydraulic presses are sold and they'll do a marvelous job at crushing orphans.
And you can use hammers to brutally murder people as well as to drive in nails. You can use a screwdriver to grievously wound someone besides using it to repair your glasses. The fact that a tool can be used for bad things does not negate the good things it can be used for. Nor does it mean that the maker is responsible if someone chooses to use it for bad things.
'the gun' by cj chivers is an excellent read, i suggest checking it out

There were anti-stalking features from the start. It didn’t stop the media hysteria however.
That's true. But the advertised use case (tracking stolen items) is perfectly valid.
