Yeah but it'd be pairable and most of the wifi cards that framework ships with all have internal bluetooth.
i.e. you'd no longer need a dongle.

Is it even possible to buy a mainstream laptop without Bluetooth now? Maybe absolutely bottom of the barrel bargain basement sorts of laptops, but probably even those come with it considering how an Intel AX210, a good recent WiFi+BT card, can be had for $15-$20 retail and I’m sure is even cheaper for OEMs (plus, even cheaper crappier chipsets exist).

I don't think so unless you specifically look for it (some govt and def contractor orgs procure no-wireless laptops still for security reasons).
And the AX210 I'm pretty sure is the default Framework wireless card FWIW.

It also means I need to pair, and deal with all the hassle that brings. Much easier to just plug the unify dongle in somewhere rlse
