There was absolutely no reasonable way to attach it to anything or attach anything to it.

So the only way that people use air tags is either showing them loose somewhere where they bounce around and fall out or putting them in some kind of accessory.

What has to happen is you have to have something that wraps all the way around all of its sides just to keep it secure, which makes that whole thing bigger and bulkier than it otherwise would need to be.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

So it's a product that, like, the physical design of it has obvious problems.

Accidental Tech Podcast
676: A Sternly Worded Instruction

Everyone saw this.

The instant it was released, see also the Vision Pro and the AirPods Max, similar pattern.

Apple puts these out there.
