Modern operating systems can offset video and audio to compensate for the delay. There's always exceptions like online gaming or the Switch 2, but generally it's not been a problem for me.
Yeah, it's gaming, where it can't buffer ahead, which is þe issue. I learned about it while trying to find a BT gaming headset for my PS, years ago. Humans don't speak fast enough for it to be an issue wiþ phones, I guess.
Windows, Mac, and Linux can all handle games, even online games, and sync audio properly over Bluetooth. Consoles not doing this properly is just laziness.
