As I was saying earlier, no group classification is perfect. In the
situation you describe, having pulseaudio in System/Base would be even
more confusing. But if you were to choose between Sound/Editors and
Convertors, Sound/Midi, Sound/Mixers, Sound/Players, Sound/Utilities,
Sound/Visualization, where would you look first?

You know none fits perfectly, I know that as well, even less for
pulseaudio-module-jack or pulseaudio-module-bluetooth.

But before everyting was in Sound: so confusing is maximum. Now it
becomes a bit (but only a bit) easier. That's the point.

Yes. By the principle of "Where else?" :-)
