Children have swallowed CR2032 batteries, and died. Others have suffered horrible injuries when the batteries have got lodged in their throat. None of them were, as far as I am aware, monsters.
Airtags (and other bluetooth trackers) are designed to be left attached to objects (keys, bags, even soft toys) and left unobserved. Small children in particular will put anything and everything in their mouths. The problem with the regs in Australia, EU & UK is that the applicable safety standard is open to interpretation about what constitutes a secure battery compartment. The result is that Apple's product is arguably compliant but probably still unsafe. They have prioritised style/ease of use over safety.
