WiFi point to point isn’t all that bad, and definitely not worse than Bluetooth already is. It’s not like the signal is being bounced through an access point or router. WiFi has about 5ms of latency while Bluetooth has reached 20ms through relatively recent advancements. WiFi can do 15ms of additional work and it’ll still match Bluetooth’s total latency, much more if you don’t have low latency codecs on either your device or your headphones.
The problem with WiFi is more that it’s more power hungry. Maybw they’ve found some way to get the power usage down, but constant WiFi streams aren’t amazing for constant power usage.
