This URL is partially wrong, although maybe not intentionally. Clearly not focused on the technical audience. The Xbox One uses basically a form of USB over WiFi Direct, the same trick (although an incompatible implementation of) that Logitech leverages in their not-Bluetooth 2.4ghz gaming keyboards and mice that require the dongle to work. Newer XBox One controllers also support Bluetooth to connect to PCs and Phones and set-top boxes on top of the native Xbox One protocol. The Xbox One itself has no need to use Bluetooth for controllers, as it is an inferior protocol, and simply does not need to support it: all XBox One compatible controllers implement the native protocol. On top of that, I can use Xbox One controllers of any revision via USB cable, powered entirely off the cable (no heavy batteries required), on everything, including the Xbox One itself. Uses a standard MicroUSB cable, no special parts required. On top of that, PCs also have the Xbox One adapter[1] to use the native XBox One protocol on your PC, and this extends to both controllers and native XBox One headsets. Microsoft designed the audio part of the native protocol to work around Opus, as they lifted Opus usage from modern Skype for their Xbox One game SDK (thus, really damned good in-game voice chat, as good as Discord and Teamspeak and whatnot is today). Furthermore, native XBox One headsets use the native protocol, streaming uncompressed PCM (stereo 48khz playback, mono 24khz recording) instead of dicking around with backwards Bluetooth codecs that only garble sound and increase latency. The PC adapter also adds the ability to use these headsets. I can basically walk across my house and not drop signal on native XBox One devices. Bluetooth, otoh, can drop because I have a wireless earpiece in left ear, and my phone is in my right pants pocket.
