Of course, and I've been championing that in the company, but so far, they don't think it's worth the effort. It's getting traction.
But it's still a lot of work for me, and the fact that I was able to use Bluetooth (with pain) in 6.1 makes it all the more frustrating. I would rather Apple have put another engineer in the Bluetooth team to work on this than re-skinning the OS.
