Extremely bold claim there.

I definitely use my macbook with non-apple hardware. From headphones to laptops to android phones.

My first Macbook used to pair with a Nokia E72 to get internet via the GSM modem, I used it every day on the train.

Two weeks ago I connected an old Oneplus One via bluetooth to my macbook (2020 mbp) to get some old photos from its internal memory.

What doesn't work?

EDIT: actually, I'm not sure I ever connected a laptop to a macbook, but I have a linux laptop so I can try it if you want.

I couldn't get file transfers to work. It was a while ago so there might have been a Bluetooth version mismatch or something. I didn't bother troubleshooting it much because WiFi is more convenient for me anyway. I'll give it another try.
