Just to add another datapoint, I've happily used a Logitech MX Master 2 alongside Airpod Pros, both connected using Bluetooth, to either an M1 MacBook Air or a Microsoft Surface. Is it an issue with just AirPods rather than Pros?
I have two mx master 3's on my desk, and no problems while using the sony wf1000 xm4's which also tend to saturate bluetooth bandwidth.
My money is on Apple doing something non standard, not Logi.
To summarize: If you use a Logitech bluetooth device, it creates enough interference that high-bandwidth products like the Airpods will not function correctly. If you switch the Logitech device to use their "unifying" adapter, which doesn't use bluetooth but a different proprietary wireless protocol, the problem goes away. Logitech acknowledged the problem about six months ago but thus far have deflected any further…
My favourite part about wires is that there's never interference or poor connectivity. Aux headphones, ethernet cables, wired mouse and keyboard - all so much more painless.

Not always true. The USB-C port is already loose on my Android phone after only 1 year of use. I cannot use it with a DAC on the go for music, as the slightest wobble will cause a disconnect. I never had this issue with headphone jacks, but even so, wireless has some advantages.
Try cleaning lint out of the USB port

I've tried compressed air. I still suspect mechanical wear. The port is after all, extremely small and intricate and of questionable design.

I used to be able to tell I was about to get a GSM text message by the way my (wired) computer speakers would make a distinct quiet staccato crackle sound.

I remember that! I wonder what it was - the actual signal sent or something in phone's reaction?
Obviously the phone caused it. The signal from the tower wouldn’t be any different from all the other calls going to all the other phones on your block. They didn’t have beamforming that narrow.

Get a ferrite ring for your cable, solves more of these issues than you'd imagine. Or a clip on, something like this : https://www.cablechick.com.au/cables/ferrite-core-rfi-and-em...
They used to be common on USB cables, especially USB A to B cables for printers. Not sure why they disappeared.

I'd think so too. I have two mx master 3's on my desk, and no problems while using the sony wf1000 xm4's which also tend to saturate bluetooth bandwidth. My money is on Apple doing something non standard, not Logi.
