My understanding is that it is on by default if you use it. If you haven’t enabled Find My $device it is _not_ turned on by default.

Of course that isn’t much of a distinction since the vast majority of iPhone users will have Find My Phone turned on and I believe are encouraged to turn Find My Phone on during device setup.

I stand corrected. Just turned off “Find My iPad” and the switch for “Find My network” disappears. So I guess it’s “opt-out of this if you’ve opted in to that”? Regardless you are right, thanks.
This is my understanding too, it isn't immediately clear so I understand the confusion but if you do not onboard your device into the network on setup, you won't be pinging other devices (like AirTags) via ULB Bluetooth
