Paired devices showing in iphone 12 battery widget

I have paired my MacBook air (via Bluetooth) to my iphone 12, but like ipad, it does not show in the battery widget of my iphone. Would this be an IOS vs. MAC OS issue, or is it just that the MacBook (like the ipad) is not considered an accessory like my Apple watch?

You can't technically pair your iPhone and your Mac in the way that you think. At this time, the battery widget is for connected bluetooth accessories like game controllers and headphones, keyboards, mice... those types of things. You will not find your other iOS devices there either because that data is not synced across devices.
