How many have you tried?

I’ve never had any non-Apple phones/computers not work with Apple phones/computers using Bluetooth.

Quick aside: there are a lot of wireless headsets that simply suck on MacOS. I have a pair of Sony XM4s that I can run with 990kbps audio on Linux that are stuck at 330kbps, barely connect half the time and auto-open Apple Music every time they connect for some godawful reason. I think Apple's desktop audio experience is getting really so-so. Pretty much their only advantage is CoreAudio at this point, and even that's shaky when you compare it with the likes of PipeWire...
Two or three. I couldn't get file transfers to work. It was a little while ago.
Gotcha. I’ve not tried that many either, and occasionally it took some wrangling, but it’s always worked. (Also I may be forgetting a time when I tried but succeeded using something besides Bluetooth)
