> The Android app Apple released is basically useless since it requires manual scanning.

It is better than nothing. The limitation on background scanning is likely due to Android + diverse hardware not providing a low-power way to do such a thing.

The more effort Apple takes to bind an Apple ID to a real world identity, the more consequence comes from abuse of a tag. The alerting serves to make that consequence more likely.
