>I feel Bluetooth is the ever-unstable technology we have been beta testing for 2 decades.

Meanwhile I just transferred via Bluetooth some old high-school photos from an 2003 NEC flip-phone with Bluetooth v1.1 onto my 2021 OnePlus Android phone with Bluetooth v5.1 seamlessly.

And as a test, both phones managed to connect flawlessly to my shitty 2014 Fiat entertainment system and to my dad's ancient 2005 Audi entertainment system. Even my brand spanking new Sony noise cancelling bluetooth headphones from 2021 worked with that NEC flip phone from 2003. The backwards- and cross- compatibility of bluetooth is nothing but impressive.

The only bluetooth device that gave me issues were some M-Pow headphones off Amazon that I threw away after a couple of weeks due to how terrible they were and a work colleague constantly had issues with his LG Android phone because LG apparently fudged the Bluetooth firmware implementation on that phone.
