What is the bluetooth used for? I have an X100F (which I am selling on dpreview if anyone is interested) and don't recall using bluetooth.

If it's for phone connection then that would not be something you'd want on all the time anyway.

The X100F didn’t have Bluetooth, just WiFi.  Bluetooth is a lower powered connection that’s designed to be “always on” and it’s useful for coordinating the WiFi connection - eg in the app you request a transfer and (via Bluetooth) your phone switches on the cameras WiFi and initiates it.  It’s clever stuff, not essential just convenient.  But as Truman says, not a battery hog or a cause of heat unless this is an all new bug in an established function.
