I'm assuming I can opt-into the threat, i.e. it's possible for me to disable Bluetooth to remove my exposure to this class of attacks. When I turn on my WiFi I know that I'm subjecting myself to de-auth attacks, for example.
I can't opt out of a hardware attack once a malicious repair shop has replaced a critical module in my phone with their own.
Like I said, I'm more concerned with the latter. It doesn't mean I'm not concerned about attacks from external devices too.

At least the maid stuff (even if astronaut-level engineering) is remotely plausible.
