The reason it exists primarily is so that music venues and museums and such can provide broadcast audio for accessibility and just in general without requiring people to use their janky headsets from the 80s. Once it exists and is actually in the hardware for the Bluetooth chips, the work to plug together a UI for it is relatively small for what looks like a big feature.
It also has some pretty good power savings over actually pairing a device, since neither device is looking for return communication to any significant degree, and it’s geared for not giving the headphones device control in the way that a paired device gets.
Overall it’s a good innovation, but not the most clear to market how you’ll use it every day.
