We'll know soon whether 2025 iPhone SE 4 basebands get pwned as routinely as existing iPhones.
Cost is certainly a factor, but it doesn't take a lot of searching to find people designing and building devices saying that the existing third party hardware and firmware implementations for Bluetooth are problematic.
I don't think the Android/Pixel guys were daydreaming about ditching Broadcom for no reason.
I seem to remember discussions the Google Glass people posted here about their own issues with keeping a stable Bluetooth connection with the available third party Bluetooth chipsets.
