the advantage to beacon operators isn't entirely from the new packets, it's also from having people's BT on all the time

- tastroder 7y agoYeah but that's one of these constructed arguments. "People" outside of our community already had BT enabled all the time. That's not a new "leakage path" introduced by a protocol designed with privacy in mind. This one for example https://m.rover.io/more-straight-goods-on-location-bluetooth-and-location-permission-opt-in-rates-cd4361acf3bc https://m.rover.io/more-straight-goods-on-location-bluetooth... is from 2017 and estimates BT enabled percentage at above 60%. I'd bet with recent tech developments that number only went up.
