Yeah, it's 100% pure fresh from the ass BS.

Lenovo did that to reduce their customer's ability to buy PC expansion devices from other manufacturers, in hopes of making more aftermarket sales in the future.

It was a pure greed tactic.

It used to be very common across all OEMs, at least in the consumer space. I remember having to flash a modded BIOS on my 2012 HP laptop so it would boot with a WiFi + BT card. Back in those days it was uncommon for a laptop to have BT.
