It was mentioned in the article that some airlines have invested in baggage tracking as well. I know I would be a lot more comfortable checking a bag if I weren't risking not having my bag at the destination.
Airtags are honestly the best invention for this.
They're a bit wonky/laggy during your trip, but when your luggage is lost it's nice to be able to tell baggage claim "the bag looks like X, and it's in terminal 3 of Pearson right now"
Better than that, once you get to your destination, you can find it when you get within 30m... I found out that our bags were sent to a different carousel, and then taken off the belt and into the area behind us on one trip this spring.
Airlines can't be trusted to get their shit together, and having an AirTag / Tile is even better...
If I could track my bag from check in to pick up through the airlines own app, they would have my business. Also if I didn't have to wait up to an hour to get it.
For now I'll stick to travelling light with carry on.
