I would like it to just work too. That would be amazing. Spending time fixing bluetooth or HDR issues is annoying, 100%. I understand your point.

Like everything, it's about choosing the trade-off that's best for you.

The reason that you don't have to fix these problems yourself in Apple/Microsoft products is that they invest millions of dollars in software engineering labor in order to cover every possible contingency and hardware configuration available and they expect a return on that investment. Instead of spending your time fixing bluetooth issues you can pay money to subsidize Microsoft/Apple fixing it. That has been, for quite a while, the best deal available in personal computing.

Except now they don't just want to sell you a box with software in it that operates your computer. They also want to spy on you, lock down your device, prevent you from repairing your own system and trap you in a walled garden of subscription services and use their monopoly power to prevent any other alternatives from being able to offer better services.

I don't like this new bargain, I'd rather write a script or read a wiki. The FOSS world is full of people who understand this dilemma and we're all working together to make computers better for everyone. Part of that is helping our fellow users come onboard and deal with the issues that they're facing, that's what I was aiming for (and even if you don't need the information, it may help some reader).
