Can someone please tell me what are security risks of using Bluetooth?

I am using a Bluetooth headphone with EndeavourOS. I followed this tutorial to enable bluetooth >> https://discovery.endeavouros.com/bluetooth/bluetooth/2021/03/

The tutorial clearly says

We do not enable Bluetooth by default, because of several security risks.

What are these several security risks ?

I found some articles on the web but all of them explain the bluetooth vulnerabilities of a phone. Not a Linux desktop.

Things like remote keylogging could be interesting.
