Airdrop works fine in China, actually, if you leave it open you will be harassed by unwanted drops in public transport. E-sims are not allowed.

Yeah the change they made was to auto shut off airdrop after 10 mins. It's just that it happened to roll out in China around the same time that many apps were banned and protesters were reported as using airdrop to pass messages.
But I mostly agree - they rolled it out worldwide later on because once you reason it through, disabling it when it's not actively used turns out to be the better default.
