Because Bluetooth requires support from more than one vendor; they can blame each other when something goes wrong or off-spec.

Otherwise, they're more robust than proprietary devices.

But yeah, like my phone that allows me to use Bluetooth headphones or run an application. Who thought that was a good idea? Or Sony, who decided their Bluetooth devices needed a higher amperage than normal for recharge and use a new sync code every startup, which means non-Sony devices might need to re-sync if you don't turn them off before the Sony device.

But this can happen to anything, like the proprietary phone that's known to broadcast to your neighbor's or open your neighbor's garage door, or the one that fails when someone uses a microwave, or the Naval base that puts out a landing signal so loud that everyone's WiFi network within a mile resets.
