The main difference is Apple made it work way better and more accessible. Tile users are pretty rare in the wild.

Apple mostly got there because they already had so many phones. As Jobs would've said, Tile is a feature, not a product.

Unfortunately things start getting weird/potentially negative at scale, but at least Apple is trying to get ahead of the problem.

The problem is that there is some benefit in integrating almost any service into the growing Apple ecosystem and almost any product could conceiveably benefit from become an Apple feature. I think regulators need to draw the line somewhere to protect competition.
