Windows 10: Is "Swift Pair" Intended to Connect to Any Supported Device Automatically?

This is seemingly a massive security hole.... Does "Swift Pair" automatically connect any supported device regardless of prompt? I keep getting a boat load of random blue tooth devices connected to my PC which is a obvious issue in my mind. If it is supposed to work that way and auto connect devices perhaps it should be disabled by default so people don't get hacked/spied on.

No Swift Pair toggle in bluetooth settings?

I'm running 1909 with a bluetooth dongle and I don't see the option for swift pair in bluetooth settings. The only checkbox I see is the metered connection setting.

Does swift pair also require a supported dongle also, not just the device pairing with it?

Thanks

Bluetooth Swift Pair connection problem

Windows version 19043.1288 I just bought a Microsoft Bluetooth Ergonomic Mouse, model 1955, and I am attempting to have it automatically connect each time I log on. The mouse is paired and I receive the Swift Pair window pop-up asking me to connect:

The problem is that as the mouse is not yet connected I cannot click "Connect". Attempts to hit enter and tab to "Connect"have been unsuccessful given the quite brief time the window is visible. My only success so far is to connect another mouse and click "Connect" which makes things work perfectly. So my questions are: 1/ Is there a way to have the system just default to connect, and; 2/ Is there a way to select "Connect" by using the keyboard? If it were any other peripheral other than the mouse there would be no problem.
