With the same analogy, we should stop producing kitchen knifes because someone may stab someone.

We should also stop producing cars because someone may crash someone.

Almost every technological device (or even a simple device) can be abused in wrong hands, nothing to do with Apple or AirTags.

but that's precisely the wider point: new technology enables new behaviors, but in some cases, benefits are much smaller than downsides.

i don't think the jury is out on airtags just yet. it's clearly revolutionary technology in terms of reach, for better or worse.
