Thats not even true… they released their android app for tracker detection in 2021.
HOWEVER, it doesnt scan in the background like the new safety features do. Let’s not pretend they did absolutely nothing, because they DID do something.
Comment on Apple AirTags stalking led to ruin and murders, lawsuit says

Google and Samsung had to build and rollout safety features because Apple didn’t care for Android users.

Because Android users routinely install Apple apps. Most people will never know that the app exists. While yes Apple did do something, in reality it doesn’t do much. Though it would definitely be useful if you get suspicious that someone is stalking you.
It’d be best if these trackers used an open standard that could be detected by the operating system instead of relying on an app.

The feature needs to be built into the operating system. Apple and Google worked together on a specification for unwanted trackers that's now built into Android.
