> The whole point of the gizmo is to "track", and I struggle to come up with an improvement to their solution to allowing users to track things but not stalk people.

Let the user block types of devices from using their "find network". And let them block individual devices from using the "find network" through their phone.

If everyone could see, every local device, there would be no private tracking.

I don't actually understand what you're proposing here?

Sibling comments point out that opting out of the AirTag network is a setting in a given iOS device, which I didn't know, but I don't think that's what you mean.
