Strictly speaking, if being trackable is an issue for you, you shouldn’t run around with bluetooth enabled in the first place. And incidentally, no BT means no find my device either.

If someone you’re with has a phone on them, even if it’s off, you’re probably being tracked.

Ha! I gave up that fight long ago. I just try not to make it easy for them.

Just sort of pointing out this tracking network (like many others already running) is happening whether you opt out or not.

The opt out part is just security theater for your peace of mind.

Keep in mind they (Google, Apple, Amazon, etc) must still comply with government warrants. Probably pre-encryption.
