With the launch of the Google play pass, you would think that it is the perfect time to enable Bluetooth connectivity for the controller. You have 2 game subscription services (Stadia Pro and Play Pass) both owned by Google, and yet the controller only works wirelessly with one. There are many users who won't want to use Stadia but want/need a controller for a load of play pass games; surely you want their controller of choice to be the Stadia controller. Why would they pick it over a Bluetooth enabled controller? You could even do a promotion where getting an annual play pass subscription gives a discount on the controller, getting it into people's hands who are clearly happy to pay for a gaming subscription who may not have given Stadia a chance, possibly converting them to using both and doubling revenue. Even if you just look from a business perspective, the decision not to support bluetooth gaming does not make sense.
