It sounds like you are talking from a user perspective and the parent is talking from a vendor perspective, no?

I've had the exact same experience when trying to connect my Airpods to my iPhone SE 2nd Gen. When I still used a Samsung S8 the phone would instantly connect to my Airpods. Same experience with Bluetooth headphones.

that is the exact reason I don't like to use bluetooth for audio devices. Nothing beats physical jack cables.

Seconded. Any bluetooth issues I have on Android are specific to a particular device.
The cheap anker headsets I mostly use are rock solid. I have an android head unit (second one actually, first one was garbage) and a Bluetooth radar detector. The detector always works with my phones, and never with my head unit(s).
Seem like I have different experience with them. I don't have issues with Android Bluetooth, I do have issues with Apple bluetooth.
Half of the time, my iPad couldn't detect my bluetooth devices (keyboard and audio accessory) are trying to connect to it (already paired). When that occurred, I have to go to the Command Center to force connect my bluetooth devices and half of the time iPad will obligate and connect. Other time it just give up and said couldn't connect or cannot find it (while my bluetooth device is poking iPad to connect). It is a hassle to use my bluetooth devices with the iPad daily.
On the Android side, it instantly connects, even my phone is sleeping.
