You are missing the point.

They are not the target audience, but they are affected negatively by it regardless. It's for Apple users at the expense of everyone else.

The criticism is not about the individual utility of airtags, it's about how it creates a privacy issue for everyone who is not an Apple user.

In the same manner, it’s not about utility of individual phone cases, it’s about all the plastic waste it creates for the whole planet.
