    I don’t think watches, earbuds and other Bluetooth devices do. Also typically the MAC is per SSID/device

    The reason they are hard to track is that you would need to track thousands of devices and then somehow correlate all of it. They are really only useful if you are trying to target someone but even at that there are easier ways.
