But then why is inflight wifi a thing?

Under FAA rules (what I’m familiar with, EU/DE/ICAO is probably similar), the air carrier can determine which portable electronic devices to allow.

The law (it’s short): https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.21

An advisory circular relating to it: https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/...

This allows an air carrier to approve anything they’re confident won’t cause an issue but not approve AirTags.
