Not is > it just about embedded boards. Not necessarily. We often have two interface options for exactly the sam sensor chips. They can be connected either through SPI or I2C. Which means that there is a core driver for the chip and two different transport glue components (see e.g. iio/accel/bmc150). This does not require I2C to be able to handle SPI or vice versa or provide a common API. And most Bluetooth devices I know have either UART or a direct USB interface. So in the USB case there is no need to connect it through some USB-UART bridge and treat it as an UART at all.
