That would only be when the bluetooth port in question was active via the
hardwired interface - which is not always. You choose to turn on/off
bluetooth interfaces. If you boot with an older user space you'd use
hciattach instead.

In many cases you'll also still need the tty interface to do things like
firmware upgrades.
