Initial M1 support merged into Linux SoC tree

Come on - Bluetooth headsets are unusable with the mic on due to HFP being the only bluetooth profile most Linux distros support.

Nope. I run Pop OS and I get A2DP on all my Bluetooth headsets. I'm running a cheapish Clevo laptop.

A2DP doesn't work simultaneously with HFP (i.e. "with the (bluetooth) mic on"). That's not Linux limitation, that's Bluetooth limitation and other OSes - Android, MacOS, iOS, Windows - behave exactly the same.

One solution is getting a wired mic.

What i meant is that most distros use HFP instead of HSP.

Thanks, I'll try PopOS out - hopefully I can finally use the integrated mic on my BT headset.

A2DP works OOB with my Ubuntu 20.10 with Sony WH-1000XM3.

A2DP is an output only profile. For mics you need HFP or HSP but Ubuntu seems to only use HFP (the shitty one).
