The range 70:D8:23 appears to belong to Intel, but it's called a "Microsoft" adapter. I'm not entirely sure why.
Ideally, we'd have a way to filter these out. What I'm not sure about is whether or not bluetooth uses a physical or virtual address. Assuming it's a physical address, our hands may be tied.
Microsoft does use the word "Virtual" in the adapter name, but this may suffer translation issues and isn't a 100% guarantee, just a guideline since a company could legally have the word "virtual" somewhere in their name to describe the adapter, causing a false-positive match.
Real-world example of this occurring in th wild:
GOOD: (bluetooth)
interface: "Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)"
mac: "70:D8:23:92:1D:09"
BAD: (virtual adapter)
interface: "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter"
mac: "70:D8:23:92:1D:06"
