I imagine they designed it the way they did specifically to prevent law enforcement from tapping them.

Not law enforcement, but random punks. Law enforcement can get your airtag private keys from your iCloud backup.

    That’s not how an AirTag works. Anyone can request any AirTag by simply knowing the public key (which is broadcast via BLE). Then you just need the private key which doesn’t need to be backed up by disabling keychain backups.
