I do. I don't own an airtag.
So your complaint is, "This product that I don't own, and isn't designed to do what I want, doesn't do the thing it isn't designed to do.". Do you also post complaints that GE Washing machines don't have a built-in method to cook a fucking chicken?

The point of the comment is that this is not something we should have to tolerate or worry about in a seemingly high-trust society.
I totally get and respect the perspective of the parent poster, I'm just keeping it real that the US is generally not a high-trust society. If it were, we wouldn't have disclosures and disclaimers and limits of liability for everything we do all day long.
