Find My doesn’t leak device location to Apple, so they do not have this data. (iirc it works something like this: the device includes a public key in its broadcasts and nearby devices encrypt their location for that key and send that blob to iCloud)
I can go to iCloud.com in a browser and ping my phone’s location. They may not be initiating these pings or storing the data, but it’s well within their capacity.
(To be clear: no AirTags in this view. Macs, iPhones, iPads, Watches, and AirPods.)
You could also voluntarily share the device location with Apple and friends as part of reporting it stolen. I don’t really care if Apple knows where my stolen phone is after it’s stolen.
You’re conflating Find My (Mac/iPhone) with AirTags.
