Apple disabled AirDrop in the China region, then later globally, for people not in your contacts.

In November 2022, […] Apple began to limit AirDrop sharing with non-contacts for devices in China, which made it harder for users to share files with people they didn’t know. That feature was later expanded globally.

Correct, reviving files from everyone is now only open for 10 min. It was launched in China to appease the CCP, but in western nations where using airdrop to voice government dissent isn’t popular, it was released to stop people from airdropping dick pics on the subway.

    I don’t have to imagine it. I’ve clocked in hours on BART. It’s just dudes whipping it out.
