Why can’t we connect multiple Bluetooth speakers to a phone and play them all?

I was thinking of WiFi and how it is possible to connect multiple devices and use the internet. Why is it not possible with Bluetooth? I mean the same song from one phone being played in multiple connected speakers.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the clarifications.

The fundamental problem is a lack of consistent rules for Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth is basically a protocol, it tells you what frequencies to talk on, how much signal, (how loud to talk on it.) but without rules about how each device connects, it makes things like having one another be able to talk to each other harder because they don’t have any idea how the other one speaks, where it is coming from, how often it can speak etc. this is all negotiated when the devices connect, so it makes it almost impossible without rules to get them all working together.
