I would like to see Bluetooth and NFC included in the sensors that are toggled off with the switch in “Sensor Privacy” mode.
The reason is that these services can already compromise privacy just by being active. See for example in a commercial context (but others could be imagined - cybercriminals, governments, a mischievous neighbor, …):

For the occasions that you want to use Bluetooth or NFC but keep camera and microphone off, I suggest a similar way as implemented now for the camera, namely an option to selectively reactivate them: Turning the sensors off with the switch would disable all four sensors, but it should be possible to reenable BT and NFC in the top menu or the settings. That way they would be opt-in when the switch is off.
Returning the switch to the “on” position would ideally return the settings to the previous state, but I wouldn’t mind having to open the menu and reactivating Bluetooth and NFC manually.
It should be easy to implement that in the code.
