I would agree.
I was at our hackerspace last night working with a SDR transceiver ADALM-Pluto and tuned in to the 2.4 802.11bgn spectrum. Its a clean swath of radio for comms. Its easy to establish a connection. And the bandwidth graph is cleanly edged.
Then I look at the Bluetooth part of 2.4GHz... Holy crap. Each device frequency hops like a rabid rabbit. And when you look for a device, over the radio it looks like its just dumping beacons everywhere in the hopes that something responds.
Just viewing a device with bt connected, and looking for a device makes it clear that their scheme of BT is -bad-. Its a bad protocol, bad detection strategy, and bad usage of spectrum (yay raise noise floor for everyone).
