The magnet is a no-brainer and I can't believe no one has thought of it yet. I can't wait to see Apple steal this idea in 3-4 years and all of the kool-aid drinkers call it revolutionary when it hits the iPad.

We have 4 home hubs mounted across the house, full zwave& wifi across lights, ac, blinds, tv, speaker systems, fans, 18 cameras...
You don't buy this tablet for home automation.... you buy this tablet if you want something that has horsepower for games while also can dock on the counter for recipes without having another dedicated counter device.
Any tablet for the past 5 years can stream any video just fine....
A 2:1 laptop can be had easily for under $500 if you need productivity
To be honest.... not sure why tablets are still seeing innovation.... all use cases/workloads have peaked ...
To do what you're asking would require a Bluetooth receiver in addition to the USB-C DAC.
But it doesn't stop there, right? Because the next thing you would expect is a perfect handoff of audio each time you remove or place the tablet on the dock.
In order to facilitate that, a custom codec would have to be created, as the default SBC codec always has a brief silence when output changes.
A custom automatic task that always runs in the background to make sure Bluetooth is turned on whenever the tablet is placed in the dock would also need to be created, if they aren't already managing aspects of that (like turning off auto pairing when the device is docked).
When all is said and done, it adds another $100-200 to the MSRP for a feature you probably wouldn't actually use all too often.

As the tablet is not gaining a large user base there's little hope for a 3rd-party solution so far.

Then came the Nvidia Shield. Had that for another 7 years before it stopped charging.
They don't make them like they used to, and, yes, I am including the OnePlus Pad in that generalization
