Umm, isn’t this, like maybe, a good thing? If I want my very expensive iPhone found, I want it found whether it is on or off. If people are worried about being tracked maybe they should carry around a device that is always broadcasting radio signals to third party towers.

If YOU want that option, that's fine. However, why force everyone to use this? From the comments is seems Apple is pretty aggressive with it and you can only turn it off temporarily.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
What situation are you going, "I don't want big tech to be tracking me right now"?
All of them.

I have an iPhone without a SIM card that I use as a test device and it happen that yesterday I left it in my backpack, together with an AirTag in the car. Shortly after I walked off, I got the AirTag notification as expected(the left behind notification). What I did not expect though, was to see the test iPhone also having an up to date location in the Find My app. That iPhone has no network connection, so I assumed that somehow it must have connected to my daily iPhone's hot spot.
And today, I learn that iPhones are capable of sending location even when turned off. So I checked the Find My setting, it's right there on iOS 14.4.2 on iPhone 7.
It's pretty cool, very aggressive tracking. Maybe we need clothes with faraday cage pockets for occasions when we don't like to be tracked.
