this just seems like a stupid oversight from Apples side. I guess there will be a quick rev 2.0. No big deal, just hope no one is getting hurt in the meantime.

Not a stupid oversight on Apple's part. A stupid overreaction on Oz's part. No rev 2 with a screw or glue. Just use common sense (an oxymoron for some people) and keep small choking hazards away from children.

Warning: AirTag, the battery cover, and the battery might present a choking hazard or cause other injury to small children. Keep these items away from small children.

You _really_ don't get it, do you? The tag is specifically made to be attached to bags and other stuff that are routinely placed on the floor, on chairs and by the bedside where small children can easily reach them. Or on cats and dogs - shouldn't the children be allowed to come near the kittens?
Companies, including Apple, need to follow some good design rules - not necessarily because you might be sued otherwise (which, I admit, is a stupid practice, but almost exclusively relevant in USA), but because it makes sense to reduce the risks of accidents. This exact problem has been solved in thousands of products by a tiny screw. I bet Apple will find a more elegant solution, but if they can't just add the damn screw.
Why make such a fuss about Apple f@cking up this?

Out of curiosity why aren’t you blaming the parents on this? I made it perfectly fine through childhood. You know why? My parents paid attention. Our daughter grew up just fine. How is that, the government must protect us? No no government intervention needed. We took care not to lay small things down. It really is a simple concept. If you can’t watch children because you are self absorbed in your device, maybe don’t have children. Birth control or chemical castration are great. If you think if Apple put a d*** screw in it and it is ugly as all get out, how many people would cry about Apples elegant aesthetics being dragged down. A lot. 

So, what you are saying (because you apparently didn't read my post) is that you cannot leave a suitcase with an airtag attached on the floor? And you cannot let the kids play with your kittens?
And that is just because you think a small screw (or some other, more elegant, solution) is a governmental abuse of power?

Why are all these, apparently American, posters complaining about EU (or, in this case, an individual member state) fining a company for violating GFPR? In Europe we actually have a law that says we, as individuals, own our data. That is not the case in the US, where companies may, more or less freely, buy and sell your private information.
You should be glad EU makes sure there are mechanisms implemented to protect privacy, it may come in handy once you get your legislators to work for you (and not for the highest bidding lobbyist).

It takes more than someone that knows how to program and design to deliver quality software and hardware. 

Yeah, something like that requires the skill to stay at the office, no matter what. Quality is built by proper use of the punch clock.

"CIRP's findings are estimates based on a survey of 500 U.S. customers that activated a new or used iPhone in the three months between April and June 2021."

So, how could they compare to Android, if they only talked to iOS users?
