So... you want to get the benefits of Find My without actually giving back to the network?
Yes. I also consume a lot of websites and block their ads at the same time. This is selfish, but it is the way I mitigate risks.
On a related, note Alarms still work even when the phone is "powered off". I get it because it's saved me once or twice. Nothing serious just reminders for various things. Overall net helpful from my view.

A setting that you would only touch once, versus a device where you are constantly adjusting the settings. Your argument here is pathetically transparent.
pffft. you're taking things way too seriously my friend. i don't care how often it is/is not used, 5 levels deep is deep. it's just not well designed not that it's intentionally hidden. your obtuseness to this fact is even more pathetic
You seem to be the only one having trouble with it. Think about that.

There is an obvious trend on HN turning against Apple since the image hash stuff. Search 'Apple' in the last month and you'll see stories about Apple screwing over blind people, copying other people's ideas, screwing over employees, removing apps from the app store, disabling FaceID if you try to change the screen etc. From my POV (a non-Apple user) they have not changed, they have always been pretty anti-consumer.

Saying that the company with consumer products that consumers love is "anti-consumer" reduces the meaning of "anti" to be pretty much useless. They might be anti- you as a consumer, but I for one very much like this feature and feel that Apple was more transparent than they needed to be in this case, so they are certainly not anti-consumer to me (a consumer).

This is how you get a Tragedy of the Commons, and I'm happy Apple doesn't allow that kind of anti-social behavior when it comes to Find My.
