For ~20 years now, basic USB and WiFi connection have been in the category of “mostly expected to work” – you do encounter incompatibilities but it tends to be unusual.
Bluetooth, on the other hand, seems to have been “expected to fail or at least be flaky as hell” since Day 1, and it doesn’t seem to have gotten better over time. What makes the Bluetooth stack/protocol so much more apparently-unstable than other protocols?

Usb is wired so it’s pretty much guaranteed to have data be sent and received without interference. Wifi and Bluetooth are wireless where they can be messed with easier. Think of someone yelling you can hear them sometimes. Are other people talking, are they yelling far away, are they whispering rather then yelling? You being able to hear them is subject to other factors causing issues. Usb is basically like your calling coming over a wired phone, it’s going to work with less issues.
Wifi versus bluetooth is more of someone is yelling louder and has better ears versus someone whispering and has okayish hearing. Bluetooth is meant for short distance low energy transmissions for the most part, so it’s just harder for people to hear what someone said when your whispering.
