We already have things like Meshtastic, with much bigger range, separate devices and bridges to our phones. Why create something inferior?

Meshtatic requires specialized devices, bluetooth is available on every phone

True, but...
  1. meshtastic devices ara cheap,
  2. bluetooth chips on phones are not equal, so diminished reliability,
  3. bluetooth signal is easily jammable,
  4. there's a tendency to "steal" our privacy on phones by manufacturers and govts, so this also limits possible usage.
I might have jumped the gun with my comment, but in all seriousness I can't see it as more than a toy for peace times. For serious usage it's not enough.
