I don’t know about GS8+ but older devices don’t let you turn Bluetooth on while in airplane mode.

I used to have an S2, S3, S4 and S6 before my S9 and (as far as I can recall) it's always been possible to turn Bluetooth on while in airplane mode.

UPDATE: confirmed by later comments in https://androidforums.com/threads/turning-on-bluetooth-in-fl...

Older device: 2013 Moto X, Android 5.1. Lets you turn on WiFi, Bluetooth, whatever, with airplane mode on.
