I can confirm this is factually wrong. Just goes to show me what I get asking for help from people who have no idea what they are talking about.
Without the antenna, the Bluetooth has a range of about 3 inches from the motherboard. You need to plug in the 2X antenna for Bluetooth to work.
Go take your ego stroking self and your negative vibes elsewhere. If you were the know it all you just showed off to be, you wouldn't have asked a question here to begin with.
Yes I am aware that the mobo's pic I attached was a STRIX Z270G and the latter pic was of a maximus-ix-formula. The Zenith carries a similar integrated I/O shield to the Maximus 9 and the same BLUETOOTH 4.1 module as both of them. Couldn't find a similar diagram for the Zenith so I attached those instead as they were similar as far as bluetooth 4.1 went.
The antennas them selves say it's for wifi on the first pic and didn't say anything about bluetooth nor does it in their names. However the bluetooth modules themselves are in the same location on all 3 mobos posted.
Furthermore, there exists standalone Bluetooth 4.1 modules that have a built in antenna, however it doesn't list if Asus uses that module specifically.

& there are positive ways of sharing knowledge, go about it the positive way, instead of prancing on here asking a question you answered your self while setting off negative energy and pessimism.
Edit: Found the module Asus uses for the zenith wifi + bluetooth, it's the ASUS WIFI GO Qualcomm Atheros QCA9008-TBD1
