I feel like this aligns with what "airplane" mode should be. I find it annoying when I turn on airplane mode and it disables my bluetooth and I have to re-enable it (Android X/Api 29 and below)

You can set which radios are disabled with Airplane mode with an adb command. It persists and will even transfer to a new phone.

The default is:

adb settings put global airplane_mode_radios cell,bluetooth,wifi,nfc,wimax

I have mine set to:

adb settings put global airplane_mode_radios cell,wifi,wimax
