Google throws money at problems which don't generate revenue all the time. I feel like all it takes is someone inside Google with enough leverage to push it through without the thing having to make business sense

That could work but the other side of that coin is: if it stops making financial sense Google will do the responsible thing and end it. "Your BT hardware's software is no longer supported" will do more damage to the problem they're trying to solve here

I’ve already had Android phones that didn’t get more than a single major update where the BT/WiFi blobs were locked to some ancient kernel.

tbh, Android consistently having a good bluetooth experience would probably be good for the platform.
