Wireless communications are inherently jammable. Where is the border between this and a bunch of microwaves jamming cell reception? I’m not saying Apple should not have done a better job in anti-spam measures, but “please don’t” is a basis for many nice things we have.

One is hardware-based Denial-of-Service, and the other is software-based?

The main difference is the power requirement. Jamming wide band signals requires more power.

Jamming does not require much power. There are plenty of battery powered jammers available.

It's also generally against FCC regulations. Airdrop is not a regulated standard; it is entirely up to the implementing party to anticipate and mitigate abuse. The problems you're conflating are not the same, this Flipper Zero attack is entirely enabled by bad design. The explicit issue listed in the article is not inherent to the technology, it is inherent to Apple's vision for the Airdrop user story.
