Probably because his phone is hidden, that is, not set to be "discoverable"
when other BT devices search. No doubt you can set your Mot to be the same.

What I said is still valid for most BT devices: if they ain't set to be
"discoverable" (or whatever word is used to describe being hidden/unhidden
like "visibility" ), no other BT device will see them unless they've been
paired at some point such as headsets. So it sounds like your phone was set
to be visible (often the default) but his wasn't. Therefore, your last point
(4) is only partially correct.
