I don't think any of this analysis is correct. Google already has open APIs for partners to use in other areas, like health tracking. They could do the same with item tracking. It's more likely that Google is astonishingly bad at product development and doesn't need new OS features for Android to compete for marketshare. People don't buy iPhones for AirTag features.

> People don't buy iPhones for AirTag features. Don’t they? I don’t think AirTag support is a “must have” feature for many smartphone buyers, but I can see it being a factor that makes a buying choice go the iPhone way. I also can see AirTags being a factor in keeping an iPhone user an iPhone user, especially for users that have many AirTags.
