Couldn't someone just slip a phone in a bag to do the same thing?

Yes, but that’s probably a larger and more expensive device.

I don't think the limiting factor in child abductions is a few hundred dollars in the kidnapper's possession.

This is unlikely to have a significant effect on human trafficking cartels, but it might have an effect on people that are around the stalker level.

No, but factors other than limiting factors can also affect the number of child abductions.

I can buy a battery powered GPS tracker with 4G LTE uplink on Amazon for $30. A bit larger than an airtag, considerably smaller than a smartphone.
