If Bluetooth is not on certain functions will not work, specifically, connection to an Apple watch, connection to medical devices, AirDrop, AirPlay, and the Find My Network, the feature that uses the crowd-sourced network of other iPhone users to pinpoint the location of a lost phone that does not have an internet connection.
As it uses virtually no power unless actively paired and connected there is little reason to ever turn it off.

Thank You for helping me.
It's generally a good idea to leave both BT and WiFi on:
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Battery Drain and oth… - Apple Community
But, in the end, it's up to you.
Not necessarily. If it were mandatory, you would not be offered a switch.
But of course you will lose plenty of connectivity functionality should you choose to turn it off.
Thank You for the comprehensive answer.
I understand now thanks to You.
Thank You
