Worse, now device manufacturers can now make their devices identify as "apple" out of the box and advertise it as "compatibility with Apple AirPods features X, Y, X" and be legally permissible.

It's basically the consequence Google v. Oracle and the cases leading to it.

I think that's against the Bluetooth spec, and if you do that you won't be certified.
