The only mainstream browser that supports Web Bluetooth is Chrome. Maybe Apple told Google "no, don't implement that." There are good reasons for that. Web Bluetooth's usefulness is dubious, and the potential for exploits is massive.

It is very useful, I use it often. I can't think what security exploits there could be given that the user has to select the device and until they do the API can't access any devices or even scan for them.
