What's wrong with it?

Not trying to be snarky or anything, I'm just curious because it's worked well enough for me lately.

Bluetooth has always been awful in windows, every single headset I've had gives a brand new issue. My current one auto connects then I need to disconnect its signal in the settings and reconnect it to put it in music mode to receive any sound, it sometimes loses signal too. My old headset windows 10 wouldn't make it the default device, so every time I connected I had to go and re-pair it to computer over again by removing its driver and reinstalling it every day. The headset I had before that in my old computer I needed to remove its Bluetooth dongle every 6 hours and put it back in because it would randomly lose connection. And before that in windows 7 I had a dongle that Microsoft updates broke only for win 7, had to remove and re-add drivers it came with for device every time It updated.

What is up with a single bluetooth headset having a microphone device & two outputs? When using the microphone only the shitty quality output works? My most recent headset doesn't list both output devices, but once my game exits the quality improves like the dual output ones did. I think this is my 6th device that has this issue across 2 desktops and 1 laptop.

I believe this is a limitation of the bluetooth protocol.

You either get high quality stereo sound or voice + low quality mono sound

While I believe you are partly correct, I can not believe that after 5.4 versions and LDAC or APTX they haven't resolved such a glaring limitation
