this makes you wonder if apple specs where designed to enhance the user experience or just to gate-keep the access to thier lucrative market. If the later, and I highly believe so, then can we blame others to come up with workarounds?

No matter what we think of Apple, we can absolutely blame others for being deceitful and claiming they are selling one thing while actually providing something inferior.

It does what it says on the tin and it is not in any way inferior.

What's the problem again?

Bluetooth audio is decidedly, objectively inferior, unless they’re using one of the fancy codecs (can’t remember which ones iPhones support), which they probably don’t.
