Is there a good reason why users can’t turn Bluetooth off entirely and prevent the system or apps for turning it back on?
Is there a good reason why there isn’t an option to never connect to a certain Bluetooth device automatically, without unpairing it?
Is there a good reason why some phones and devices just won’t pair, despite them being compatible looking spec-wise?

not sure i understand this portion of the questions:
“Is there a good reason why users can’t turn Bluetooth off entirely and prevent the system or apps for turning it back on?”
if you are talking about phones, i have both android and iphone, and am able to turn off Bluetooth entirely on each. Though both systems like to use Bluetooth as part of their location services, along with wi-fi and gps.
on Android, you’ll need to go into the location settings to turn off using Bluetooth. otherwise it will look like it’s off, but it will still be on in the background.
on iphone, apple uses Bluetooth as part of their find-my services, so turning off Bluetooth interferes with that. because of this, iphones will automatically turn Bluetooth back on whenever you reboot the phone (because they want to use your phone as part of their find-my system), so you have to turn Bluetooth off again via the settings each restart.
