I don't. He's basically admitting his engineers are incapable of reading relatively short, well-written spec documents.

This stuff is standardized. BLE is extremely easy to use, both on a device and in an application. BLE makes it possible to create self-documenting devices that any application could use. Device manufacturers are going out of their way to prevent that from happening.

We wrote a Bluetooth mesh product before there was Bluetooth mesh standard. Don't call me lazy for not publishing a short spec when the actual Bluetooth spec is over 100 pages. BLE is "easy" managing a mesh network with transactions , droped packets, authentication, 100s of settings across different products is not. Instead we focused on the product we were trying to sell and things people actually bought based on like Alexa and Google support. We had lots of internal docs that heavily documented things including things that would damage the performance of the network and experiments that failed in practice.
