That incoming calls and wi-fi password entry are handled through the notification system is a mistake. It means that without changing the notification system itself, the incoming call dialog can't be full-screen, or display the stored photo of the contact calling you[1]; that third-party VoIP apps, if they existed, couldn't do anything equivalent to the incoming call dialog; that the wi-fi auth dialog can't do anything to prevent you from submitting a password that can't possibly be correct[2]; that the dialog is incapable of showing connection progress, and instead just disappears only to reappear seconds later if there was an error[3]; that even then, it doesn't display an error message[4]; and that you can't connect to an enterprise network without opening System Settings[5], because the notification system can't show dialogs that contain multiple text fields and/or certificate pickers. Repeating this mistake with Bluetooth would result in similar problems in validating PINs, displaying pairing progress, and presenting pairing errors.
