Issue with adsb is that very few outside Europe and the US share their signals, so any app will have partial validity, unless you use satellite feeds.

Last I looked at it coverage is pretty good for land globally? Sea less so.
The bigger issue is that in first world buying a sdr dongle for giggles is viable while in poor countries less so. A raspberry and dongle is a substantial investment if you’re earning 1/20th of a US salary. Don’t think there is an issue with willingness to share data
How to utilize sat feeds with open data? Across ADS-B track data (like OpenSky Network) South America, Africa and Oceania seem covered in addition to Europe and America, as does East Asia, and India. But China, and some parts of Central Asia and Middle East appear absent?
A lot of people running SDRs send beacon info upstream on the internet.
If you're in a "wanted receiver location" then FlightRadar will send you a free ADS-B receiver so you can add to their dataset.

I have had no problem accessing ADSB data for various parts of Asia.
