Apple devices all use a private resolvable Bluetooth address that changes every 15 minutes. That, along with a cryptographic payload, protect against this.

Aside from Apple products and Android phones, most other Bluetooth Products do not use private resolvable addresses, and many have the issue that you describe. The name isn’t always so obvious, but sometimes there is identifiable data that can be read.
