I switch from my Mac mini to Android phone and back regularly. I don't have to re-pair them.

Bluetooth is supposed to require that but not all implementations do.

Apple has some additional out of band signalling so that if it is paired on one device you don’t have to do any handshaking to switch it to a device it’s never seen before as long as that device uses the same Apple ID.

It’s nice, it reduces friction but as you say it’s a small. Ice to have at best.
