What you're advocating for is more like the Bluetooth hijacking when you get in a car of transferring your call from you ear piece to your sound system as if you want to blast your phone call to everyone in the parking lot.

Turn on car doesn't mean hijack Bluetooth connection.

Let me phrase this another way: "Computer, I told you to transfer file, not strip meta data".

About Linux: it won the Unix war, the cloud computing war, the embedded war, and is the most installed OS on the planet.

And absolutely no one knows they are using Linux. Google had to hide all of the Unix underpinnings and do things like this to make it usable.

As far as the BT car issue. I don’t have that issue. I turned off wireless CarPlay, don’t use BT and I connect my phone to my car using a regular old USB C cable to avoid that issue - and it’s more reliable
