Sure. That's what's in it for some "them" out there somewhere. What's in it for me, the consumer who just wants to brush my teeth?

Dollars. Somebody's going to follow the dollars. If it costs less to build a toothbrush without bluetooth (and it absolutely does), and if the most of public doesn't care enough about bluetooth to pay more for a toothbrush, then the one who makes bluetooth-less toothbrushes will make more money. Somebody will do that.
