Apple has an Android app for detecting airtags nearby.

Can't you just rename an airtag to something like "Sony TWS" and it will look like some Bluetooth headphones?

Bluetooth devices have IDs like MAC Addresses. It would be feasible to spoof say a laptop to look like AirTags but changing the MAC address of a little thing like an AirTag would be incredibly difficult

As much as I hate apple (and I mean hate apple) and prefer android (though I don't love it), airtags are not the problem. It's pretty much every other device trying to do a similar thing.
