BLE mesh is difficult to do at high performance across multiple platforms and we did it years before there was a spec. Would I use the spec now? Probably. Would I have waited 3 years for the spec to come out? No.

At the time you could lock up Android devices just by sending too many beacons and require users to factory reset there network settings.

When people say Bluetooth is easy I assume they have not done much more than GATT connections and a simple beacon.
