Have they renabled the controller mic yet?

I think it's more an issue with Bluetooth as a protocol. Even Xbox controllers don't do audio over Bluetooth; you need their custom 2.4ghz adapter for audio. Bluetooth hand-free profile, the one for both input and output audio, is extremely outdated and still downgrades audio to something like mono 16Khz. Even modern Apple Airpods will have this issue. It's fine for voice calls, but with music and all, it's not a good experience.
Not sure why this is downvoted, the stadia controller does indeed contain a microphone.
