I agree it's not practical in its current state.

The more important problem right now is signaling. Recovery is a much more flexible problem to solve.

there was some work on using apple's underlying BLE / mesh network they use for their tracking devices, but with open / alt devices

Something like that could be useful if anyone with an iphone going nearby the signal was enough to pick it up, without them requiring to have the app installed.
