Sure, but you could say the same thing about the cell network. Same argument applies to the cell GPS trackers I mentioned.

You can turn if off if you want. `Settings > Apple ID > Find My > Find My iPhone` and uncheck `Find My network`. I do appreciate that the power of defaults means that you personally disabling it doesn't really do much to the overall situation, though.
