Light on details, but would be interesting to see what range of devices and OS versions this works against. Should be easy enough to ban devices that are spamming automatically as a counter measure.
There seems to (at least theoretically) whitelist pairing-requests by mac-adress. Randomly hitting those few approved adresses consistently seems fairly unlikely:

I’m honestly just now hearing of it. Sounds cool, but I feel like I’d only use it once every 6 months just to see if it still works on specific things. Will keep an eye on it.
Yeah, same. I have literally zero use for it outside tinkering, and knowing myself, I’ll play with it for a couple of days, then forget it in a drawer, rinse and repeat every handful of months. It’s just expensive enough that it feels pretty wasteful to do so lol

Ehhhh it’s flexible enough that I’d bet it can change its “identity” and make it seem like 1000 different devices

Yes, but these are requests for new devices to pair
And most people aren’t going to bother with that white list
And even if they did, the attack can be tailored to the white list, because you don’t need to have a real Mac address, it can be spoofed
You should get one and find out. I love mine.
