Ah, right, yes.

It's true. I had not thought of it.

I have tried it, briefly, for headphones, and could not get it to work
at all. A colleague got it working but his how-to was terrifying.

I did use it for a mouse a couple of times. It took some messing
around on Ubuntu in the 2014-2016 timeframe, like replacing the
Bluetooth stack with a new one (remove Blueman, add Bluez, I think)
and so on: non-trivial.

Bluetooth is a mess:
