True. Except for the old "Dial via Bluetooth" feature. It used to be a Service accessible system-wide. You could highlight any numbers and right/command-click to dial a paired phone. This disappeared when the iPhone was first released, and never returned.

There is a call with iPhone feature as part of the Handoff functionality. So can then conduct the call via your Mac or switch to your phone.

So in typical fashion a redesign with a more Apple centric feature set.

Not via Bluetooth, but you can make calls via iCloud-paired iPhone, either using the phone as a relay, or using WiFi calling on supported carriers using a similar workflow.
