There a licencing fees for creating Bluetooth hardware that contains a Bluetooth stack and selling them.
This changed only recently. I wasn´t aware of the change, too.
Before the cost was to hefty for an niche OS like MorphOS and would have drained our resources within years.
Since the focus of MorphOS was shifted away due to the fee, it also takes time to put big chunks like Bluetooth back into the bag, as developers have other plans and projects now.
