In modern phones, BT connection takes so little energy, it's basically margins anyway, you'll never get another day of charge by disabling it, so it doesn't matter anyway, you will have to charge it in the evening anyway. It's only a consideration for an super specific situations that majority of people wouldn't find themselves ever. Modern phones (ones without jack) can't not have good enough batteries so it really really doesn't matter.
And that's why I'm weirded out by how many people have this specific situation when they have to have wired headphones, but then refuse to have it so there is slightly more plastic at the end of those wires, for times when they just have to have a phone charging while they listen to music. I truly cannot understand why this specific contrived scenario is so important.
