Bluetooth connection is lossy, with the exception of some Sony proprietary shitcodecs that can rarely actually maintain a stable enough connection to stay in lossless mode.
Whether you'll actually hear any difference is a different question, but the answer is maybe. The Bluetooth codecs are generally low quality, despite opus already existing and being on paper really good for the job (and implemented by pipewire but nothing else unfortunately). Bluetooth instead standardized some patent encumbered codecs with high licensing fees that are only about as good as or possibly worse than mp3. They also have very high latency and using them to watch videos of people talking sucks
LDAC is great dunno what you're complaining about. It's also in AOSP
Its encoder is. A decoder requires royalty fees. Not too terrible tbh but a fully open codec is still preferrable.
LDAC suffers from high latency and very steep degradation once the strength of the Bluetooth connection drops even slightly. In some case it can drop to around 330kbps, which makes it no better than SBC unless you can guarantee a rock solid connection at all times.
LDAC is lossy.
