Bluetooth menu structure is god-tier compared to how it used to be, what do you mean "abomination"?

  Apple took away a key feature, where you pressed a key combo (shift+alt) and clicked on the Bluetooth menu bar item, and you'd get an option to reset Bluetooth; this helped for the inevitable case where people have bugs and devices won't connect, or Bluetooth just won't work. https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/reset-mac-bluetooth-module/ https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/reset-mac-bluetooth-module/ That no longer exists on Monterey. They might be referencing Control Center, though.

    How are secret features better than the now-discoverable option of simply shutting it off and turning it back on? It's an all-time computing classic and now it's using the UI classic toggle language. This seems superb to me.

      Turning bluetooth on and off doesn't reset anything, so it doesn't help when people have deeper problems with their Mac's bluetooth.

        Ok, I understand. That is a regression. The UI piece as a whole is still superior in my opinion, wrt UX at least, even if this is a regression in functionality

    ...are you sure? When bluetooth was broken as all hell in the Monterey betas I believe that the reset trick was the go-to for people to get it to reconnect to devices properly. Unless they removed it entirely in a later beta and I'm simply unaware.

      I can only confirm that it's gone from Monterey RC1 and RC2 (& therefore the release build).
