Use of "local-mac-address" for ethernet at least has existed as long
at OpenFirmware I think. For some platforms, DT is the only OTP. And
sometimes, the bootloader (like u-boot) stores MAC addresses and then
populates them on boot.

Seems like if we just let userspace deal with it, then we're back to a
btattach tool with every platform's specific way of reading the MAC
address.
