they want you to buy their specific ps5 earbuds. It is absolutely inane, the tech is all there but not available. Personally my smart tv can connect to my bluetooth earbuds so I just do that

Likely this. I have to use my bose headphones wired into the controller, meanwhile, I can just pair the same headphones with my Nintendo switch without issue.

Don't give Nintendo a free pass on that, it was years before they added support for Bluetooth audio

At least the switch still worked fine with usbc to Bluetooth adapters before the update, I actually still use mine since it has significantly less latency than the switch itself.

It's because Sony likes making proprietary products and sucks at it.

WULFF DEN did a review on the portal and mentioned some of the other proprietary stuff that also sucked. I still have some of their garbage mem sticks and Vita charger.
