I'd really love for wifi powered consumer audio devices to become a thing. There's a rapidly growing market space of IP-based AES67 and SMPTE 2110 professional audio (and video) devices, which is really exciting to see. Its almost all wired, usually coupled to high precision PTP timing (which would probably have to be relaxed for wifi use). But it's a compelling, semi-standard, network based way of connecting all sorts of systems. There's already pretty good support in PipeWire too! Qualcomm has been talking about their own proprietary wifi sound system, Snapdragon Sound, for half a decade now. Supposedly something is actually going to be shopping soon, but only one or two phones seem able to support it right now. Qualcomm's gonna Qualcomm!

Bluetooth does have a ton of codecs now, and latency has been improved a lot too. But these are all optional specs, none are core. I also don't know what the state of bidirectional communication, headset mode is, whether that is improved or not.
