Devices used to have a dedicated line out you were never supposed to use headphone ports on external devices so technically you are just working outside of the standard, so technically your device is incompatible with all those external devices you are using, what we really need is a new protocol that is designed to keep everything at the same level on external devices.

Given that we're discussing the behaviour of phones, I'm quite certain that there was never a time when they generally had line out ports. Also, I can't imagine people are connecting their Bluetooth speakers to the wrong interface. What you're describing is still wishful thinking, because there's no world where every consumer device is going to have accurately calibrated volume regardless of whether there's a protocol which specifies it.
