Proprietary wifi connections perform better significantly than Bluetooth. Bluetooth's performance blows.

Can they still call it WiFi if it is a proprietary version of WiFi?

Eh. I'm not sure the implementation details and how high or low level their alterations are. Do they establish connections similarly and just not expose the details and packet formats to end users, or is it completely redone?

But either way, Bluetooth is pretty mediocre for just about anything, and the only way to get good results is to own both sides of the connection, with a console or with a dongle.

Bluetooth isn't any more "open". And more importantly, it's a horseshit standard with all of bad stability, bad latency, and bad performance.
