That used to be the case, but Apple and Google worked together recently to make it work just like on iPhone - no need for a 3rd party app or anything to notify you if an Airtag is with you.
Is it limited to a notification though? The phone and the tag have to communicate with each other in order to send the ping. It should be as easy as a setting on your phone that says “do not process airtag data” and no tags ping through your phone if you don’t allow it.
This would be useless. It’s like turning off a single bulb in a room full of lights in the hopes that it gets dark. One single device falling off as an avenue when you’re surrounded by other devices it can connect to is useless.

Hmm, I didn’t know this. I checked and it’s enabled. However, the last scan was 11 days ago. Doesn’t seem very useful if it’s not scanning that often.
