Because again, the network is a common good. Why should everyone else participate in finding your devices when you don't want to participate in finding theirs?

I do want to help them in finding theirs, but just their phones. Why can't i divide up my expense/risk and spend it how i want? I'm not mooching off anyone, because i don't have airtags to mooch of their network sharing.

Or a common evil, depending on your perspective. You can't opt other people out of tracking you.
