True, see, e.g., https://forum.dee.su/topic/wireless-mouse-french-keyboard.

Systems boot in all kinds of crazy states, some apparently relying on
initialization by Windows drivers. The main reason I added rfkill
calls during boot is that some systems turn wireless radio off on
boot: https://forum.dee.su/topic/wireless-problem. I also think that
having Bluetooth off by default is the optimal choice, but there are
still problems with it, as you noted.
