I wouldn't read anything like that into this.

Outdoor Maps+ is simply a new subscription based service that allows users to access premium Garmin map content directly from compatible devices.

Great, that sounds good, if that's just an additional map product

I have the new firmware 14.80 and tried to load additional Birdseye imagery and now it is prompting me to Setup Bluetooth and pair it with a Garmin app on my phone. I previously only used wifi to acquire the imagery.
Setup>Map>Map Manager>Outdoor Maps+ > add Satellite Imagery > This feature is not available until Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are set up. "Bluetooth Set up" button becomes available. The Garmin site only mentions that a wifi connection is required.
Is this a new requirement? Is anyone else seeing this?

Also V14.80
When Bluetooth is turned off and Wifi on, then i can download a part of the map.

Just one of many many bugs in 14.80 unfortunately.

Outdoor Maps+ uses Wi-Fi only to download Map data.

Is it possible to make this downloaded satellite imagery invisible? I only see the option "Delete".

I am the opposite, I can see my previously downloaded birdseye in map manager but cannot enable it.

Yes, but the really buried it.

Please see: GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Main Menu > Map Manager > Outdoor Maps+ > Option Menu > Configure Maps

Or use the Map Layer Menu on the Map page.
