BT and WiFi both require significant amounts (megabytes) of software.
The modern solution would be to use an Espressif ESP32. Modules are 6 EUR.

For something minimal (like a BTLE beacon) you could look at Nordic Semi
parts. They provide ready-made black box BTLE blobs.

It's difficult to do RF without running into patents and the proprietary
special interest groups that are the guardians of the standards.
