My overall experience with Bluetooth connectivity in Win11 has been challenging to put it very mildly.

PCs are, Windows isn't

I suppose you're going to give me a 25-step process to install voice to text on linux now, as if i couldn't still do the same thing on windows right?

I was referencing Bluetooth, so no

Most desktops don't have microphones, although all laptops do. I guess it was never deemed useful enough since a mouse and keyboard have been fine for decades. Text To Speech was created as a way to assist with "arduous" text input on mobile devices with small screens.

i don't know a single PC user that doesn't have a camera/microphone, and the technology is all there. its just laziness on developers part. And by "developers" here, I of course mean the bean counters that decide what the actual devs work on.

I don't have a webcam. And I didn't have a functioning microphone for several years until recently.

Well if it doesn't apply to you then fuck everybody else I suppose

Bluetooth on Windows is trash. It's not possible to have separate left and right volume controls, and headset buttons are not recognized.
