Technically it is the platforms fault. OK - so the spec requires pairing and for security reasons you always want the user to be responsible for that (no autopairing or hidden pairing of devices). Since this means you can't allow apps to control pairing the logical thing to do is open the bluetooth pairing activity via a public intent so that developers can request pairing with a device while still having the security and UI managed by the android platform to protect the users.
Seems fairly obvious to me or am I being unreasonable?
