      That’s what happens when you have a 25 year old protocol and try to maintain backwards compatibility through all of the versions.

        The world of audio would be more of a mess if Bluetooth was developed scrapped and replaced according to what seems to be your recommendations. I’m glad they did it the way they did.

        It’s not time for change. Just alternatives for snobs.

      Can we name a more poorly implemented protocol? Probably. One used as much as Bluetooth? Probably not.
