The article quotes: "As time went on, Bluetooth latency in the Android world improved significantly by 2021." Erm, no. You've presented no evidence along those lines.
If you go back to the original source, that is NOT what the graph claims. The original graphs are only about wired audio latency.
In addition, iPhone Bluetooth latency is not good either.
The problem, though, is mostly the Bluetooth specification and the fact that we codec the hell out of stuff to preserve power and wireless bandwidth.
Yes, the Android audio stack still is inferior to iPhone. But that has very little to due with Bluetooth.
And, to be fair, mostly no one cares as long as latency is consistent. When watching a video, for example, iPhones simply delay the video to match the added audio latency.

My android device does the same for youtube, but no other app. I can manually set it for VLC, but every game or other video app just have noticeably latency all the time.
