Why would a radio be bluetooth? Does anyone actually use separate
radios now? And if they did, why would they want it to play through
their phone? Or is it the radio on the phone playing through bluetooth
speakers?

Seriously? Why would anyone want to be forced to have a radio even if
they weren't actually listening to it? I once tried to listen to the
radio on my Pixel 2, found it unpleasant (really inadequate speaker(s))
and had to spend quite a bit of time figuring out how to turn it off.
Why would anybody tolerate using the battery for an app they weren't
using and didn't wane?
