Or grant the owner the ability to temporarily stop an AirTag from broadcasting its signal for a specified amount of time. Do it right before your luggage is checked in up until the estimated time of arrival.

The problem is not (only?) the broadcasting. The problem is the lithium battery used in a non-switched-off device.

  Has a CR2032 ever been the cause of an actual fire?

    Maybe not (who knows), but the relevant aircraft transport regulations apply to all types of lithium-based batteries.

      Not really. 2032's power most watches. There are far more watches than air tags. Why didn't they ban them?

        They (Lufthansa) didn’t ban AirTags. When asked about whether AirTags are allowed in checked luggage, they cited the pertinent ICAO regulations. They might do the same when asked about powered-on watches with lithium batteries in checked luggage.
