They’ve existed for a decade, but the tracking networks have been small, so the trackers were pretty unreliable. AirTags are accurate AF because iOS users update aggressively and Apple rolled the tracking software into the OS updates.

All in all, people only care because these things actually work well now.

No one is suing Tile because they suck ass if they’re not close to your phone.
