I see the problem you see and I agree with you about it, it’s just the narratives you’ve described aren’t the only liberal narratives.

FWIW, I’ve found that my phone has the most reliable BLE radio+drivers for flashing these; I’ve had some luck on windows and Linux but chrome on Android has ended up being my go-to for flashing these.

Edit: which I’m now noticing was pretty much said in the article; take this as an endorsement for that advice.
