that sounds very much like the "i know more than everyone else and
refuse to listen" brigade.

what you're missing is there's *much* more to bluetooth than pairing
with a headphone or keyboard. 

bluetooth is now used for a number of things *in the background* that
adds a wide variety of functionality. 

bluetooth is used without you even realizing it and you're shooting
yourself in the foot by turning it off. 

there is almost no difference in battery life and your security issue
is a non-starter since any attacker would need to be within 10-15 feet
to try to hack you, and that's assuming they even could (there aren't
any known exploits). everything is sandboxed, so even if someone
manages to connect, there's nothing that they could do.

worse, you're ignoring those who *do* know why it's better to have it
on.
