Interesting.
For me the Google Find My Phone couldn't find the device (could only show the most recent location) and couldn't ring it, but the Samsung Find My Phone got the location, battery level and could ring it immediately.
I'm guessing they added their implementation as an exception to the encryption, but not Google's implementation

Because they're completely different activities?

If you walk around outside, in a public space, you're gonna get recorded by security cameras that the local market has pointed towards the sidewalk (and likely don't care), but you would definitely care if someone pulled down your pants to take a pic of your underwear. Is that incoherent?

EDIT: The data can and will be scraped anyway. If they want, they can just start their own instance, federate with everything they can, and they won't even need to scrape it. At least we can get some use out of data harvesting with bots like these.
