I have been planning on getting the PSVR2 setup for the PC next month and I had not heard about needing a bluetooth reciever...
Sigh, I might just get the Pico 4 or Quest 3...
I'll give it a month to get full reviews then I'll decide on what to do...
I’m a Mac guy so I’m a bit out of touch with the state of PCs. I know PCs usually are a few years behind technology wise, but I’m kind of surprised they still don’t have bluetooth as standard. The technology is decades old.

I am an IT technician, and it takes a lot of confidence and ignorance to be this wrong.

This explains so much about your earlier statement, you seem to think that there is a a standard PC, there isn't.
There are hundreds of manufacturers making PCs and PC parts.
I have never seen a laptop in decades that lack Bluetooth, however there are still desktop motherboards you can buy without wifi or bluetooth, but this is not my reason for making this post...
I am pissed because I don't get why you wouldn't just put the required Bluetooth into the PSVR2 PC adapter unit.
This is what happens when you're in a walled garden. You lose sight of what exists outside of it.
That usually depends on if the PC has an inbuilt Wi-Fi chip. The Bluetooth controller is usually coupled in the same chip. So PCs that lack Wi-Fi usually doesn't have Bluetooth.
I would argue that buying a $10-20 usb Bluetooth adapter is much preferred to giving my info and data and privacy away to Meta. Not to mention the other things you can use it for.
Personally I’m really glad Sony went with Bluetooth over some sort of proprietary tech.
I am just confused as to why the adapter itself doesn't have a BT reciever...
