Hi I Hate Microsoft_060,
Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Community. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
I actually see several threads that talks about AirPods that will not stay connected to the Surface device. Unfortunately, the solution we can provide are those that you already stated on your post. In this case, I suggest that you'll send a feedback to Microsoft using the Feedback Hub app. This would allow our engineers to conduct their own experiment, to check if there are things that needs to be upgraded.
Kind Regards,
