My goal would be to provide enough information so that, if the AirTag's owner is someone the victim knows, they'll be able to determine who it is. Apple needn't provide enough information to identify random strangers, because most stalkers aren't random strangers. (And, the AirTag is appealing due to its ease of use; it would be easier and cheaper to buy a GPS tracker than set up a burner iPhone.)
It may not be possible to do this in a completely harmless way to the AirTag owner, but I do think potential victims should get more priority here. Telling everyone to file a police report isn't great IMO, because potential victims may have all sorts of reasons for not wanting the police involved.
