If it's not native then we need to give powerful Bluetooth capabilities to web pages which isn't very good.

I don't know why you think it's not good, but it seems it will happen: https://webbluetoothcg.github.io/web-bluetooth/#introduction

People said the same thing about allowing the browser to trigger the microphone and the camera.

Use sane browser and or OS inherited permissions, and sane permission-promoting and gating,

and it’s a non-issue.

(Have you seen the prompts for Location, Microphone, WebUSB, and other “scary” features in the browser?

There’s really not much room for misinterpretation!)
