Yeah, but I don’t think that has anything to do with the console’s Bluetooth stack, though. If a game requires a specific controller, that’s usually so that controller-specific features (like touchpad/gyro) will work, which wouldn’t work with an otherwise-standard controller HID profile. This also wouldn’t prevent the device from pairing, which is quite specific terminology that the author uses.
But the way the author describes it, it sounds like at an OS-level that you can’t pair third-party bluetooth accessories, which is such a wildly inaccurate statement to start an article off with, and immediately makes me question the credibility of everything else they write.
My PS5 pairs with third-party headsets and controllers without any issues, what are they talking about?
The PS5 controller works really well on Bazzite, fwiw. I also used an old PS3 controller with MacOS, iPads and Fedora.
I use it for emulators and some side scrollers on my laptop running CachyOS. Works beautifully.
Depends on the game, many require a licenced controller

Bluetooth protocols used by most headphones are not supported by the PS5 for audio output, so regular Bluetooth headsets cannot be used for game audio.
