You can ask same question for aptX-HD codec. It has also fixed high
bitrate.

SBC XQ is defined with usage of one specific bitpool value.

Maybe we can implement disconnecting SBC XQ profile when problem happen
and connect again with SBC in Automatic quality.

But there is another problem. People who chose high quality codec do not
want to see that application itself without their instruction decide to
change codec to low quality. This is reason why non-SBC codecs are used.
Because they provide one fixed quality which is same whatever bluetooth
adapter or headphone you will use. SBC is criticized for a long time
because current implementations automatically choose some quality which
is not under user control. So for these reasons there is SBC LQ, MQ, HQ
and XQ. You can choose what you want to use. By default is automatic
mode which decreasing quality.
