The first iPod touch had a broadcom chip that supported Bluetooth, but wasn't supported in the software stack. You needed to upgrade to use the Bluetooth hardware that you had already paid for.

For that matter, all iPhones contain an FM radio that you can’t use either. Even if you want to pay.

That's wrong in two ways. First, many Android phones, including my Galaxy S7, can use the FM radio via the NextRadio app. Second, iPhones do not have an FM radio.

Apps, initial few software updates were paid. Version 1 didn't have the app store, they pushed web apps initially

They charged for OS upgrades to be compliant with I believed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As providing free upgrades would amount to pre booking revenue.

That's paying for a software update. I can understand why you're conflating the two, but I don't think it's correct to do so.
By making updates paid, Apple was charging users for work that had been done on the software side after the user made their initial purchase.
What feature did you pay to unlock on iPod touch? I'm struggling to remember...
