I guess, but I've always felt apple deliberately thwarts such efforts for product lock in

Lol but like I said you also have to arbitrarily open the lid and place both airpods inside

Deliberately thwarting efforts would be not having a button.
There's a button. Like every other Bluetooth headphone case. Push the button.

Oh come now. In what scenario do you get handed an AirPods case and two loose AirPods and are expected to pair them? Is that what happened to your sister-in-law?
In which case, fair enough perhaps, but it feels a tad unfair to put the burden of universal discovery for all host devices on Apple.
And is it really that un-discoverable? What would you do on any other Bluetooth device? You'd look for a button. What is there on the AirPods case? A button.
I still say: if you have a simpler idea, let's hear it.
Edit: and, I'm sure the AirPods come with a folded slip of paper in the box, as all Apple products do, explaining the very basics of how to get the thing working.
