If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Probably, we need both.
Avoidance is the best policy, but once we have been exposed we need to know as soon as possible to prevent infecting others (and to trace our contacts and find out who gave it to us in case they don't know they are infectious).

Remember: The incubation period may be up to 14 days. When you get this warning through the app, maybe is is 14 days late; it is just about ready to break out for you.
Even if you were infected five days ago, it still is much to late. The app can't tell you how long ago since you were possibly infected - anything between a few hours and two weeks. It doesn't really help you much to know that you for an indeterminate time, up to two weeks, may have been walking around infecting others. That is in the past.
What reduces infections is staying at a good distance from "everybody else".

The tools will use Bluetooth radio technology to support apps that will be developed by public health authorities.
Hmm, bluetooth to California? Not likely.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Reading the strength of the BT signal to determine the distance is not quite as bad as using a random number generator.

How do you propose this sort of thing work without the unintentional side-effects?
If someone's phone tells them so-and-so who's nearby is infected, you just know this will turn into a confrontation for some people. And you know that, depending on both parties, this has the potential to escalate. Tensions are already high, and some can take it out on the wrong people.
Be careful for what you wish for.

If you get sick from covid-19 yourself, you should pick up your phone and call everyone that you have been at an unsafe distance from the last week or two, and suggest that they are being tested. That is all the app does. You can do it manually.

You could also paint a black spot on your door, or wear a physical flag/icon/indicator on your clothes -- a Star of David, for example.

True, but at least here in Norway, the plan is to raise the flag only if you have been within two meters of an infected person for fifteen minutes or more. Those you pass on the street or at the grocery store or wherever, for a brief moment, will not be included. That of course makes the app completely useless for its stated purpose.
Of course it makes it possible to realize the system: It probably reduces the amount of data, and processing, by two to three orders of magnitude, maybe even more. I know who I have been within 2 meters of for 15 minutes or more, without needing an app for it; they are very few.
I got the impression that the great majority of alternative apps (maybe all) will require that you are within 2 m / 6 ft for some period of time before filing it as possible infection encounter. Walking past 200 people on the street, being within 1 m for a small fraction of a second, is ignored. If it was not, you would have a line of a thousand people waiting in line for testing. If they keep the 2 m distance, the line would be two kilometers long
Maybe the Norwegian limit of 15 min is extremely high, though. If anyone can tell the limit in other countries / apps, I'd be curious.
