Now, I don't claim to know or care much about Apple products, but I 
think airtags are relatively popular?  Because of that, Google were 
/bound/ to want to match that feature, hence the [very] new 
functionality to findmydevice.

Yes, in a limited sense certain parts of your phone may never be "off", 
I suspect we don't know yet whether disabling the findmydevice feature 
*does* allow it to be really off.

Some people were paranoid about the covid tracking feature, but you 
could turn it off, or not install the app, and I don't remember any 
actual issue with it in the end?
