> Bluetooth is massively more complicated than WiFi. It has a whole service enumeration/discovery layer baked in that IMHO tried to cram way too much into the spec. Whats even more amazing is that some of the hardware vendors at the table during the development went "F that" and added some side channel audio stuff that bypassing most of the stack.

I seriously think you underestimate the complexity in Wi-Fi networks. The 802.11 2020 standard is 4379 pages long. And i'm not even counting the amendments ( https://www.ieee802.org/11/Reports/802.11_Timelines.htm ) that are in development.
