There are plenty of GPS trackers which can be used for anti-theft purposes. AirTag isn't designed for that, largely because Apple didn't want the bad PR.

Also, if you have an apple device stolen, they don't help you.

But if it is unlocked, I don't think apple will do anything for you with the device. If it comes in for service they won't confiscate it, I think they'll work on it.

It is all on you. You should lock it, enable find my and do remote erase/etc.
