NYPD urges citizens to buy AirTags to fight surge in car thefts
That's true for Apple's Tracker Detect app, but any thief could simply use the free and open source AirGuard app, which has more functionality than both Tracker Detect and the AirTag features built into iOS:
https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard
For example, AirGuard lets the user activate the alarm on any AirTag in range immediately without waiting any period of time. iOS and Tracker Detect only lets the user do this if it determines that the AirTag is following the user, and Tracker Detect adds another 10 minute waiting period for no good reason.
Good time to remind people that AirGuard exists.

Apple doesn't develop the Android OS, it's up to the Android developers to integrate tracking bluetooth low energy devices if they so choose. They could simply integrate the open source project AirGuard, for example.
