abbr[title] with tooltip is deleting dotted underline styling

Describe the issue
I use a <abbr title="...">...</abbr> abbreviation in text.
This is good because it provides context for YTD and other terms that not everybody knows.
Now, because in 2023 every human-computer interaction that takes more than 10ms is broken, and because browsers typically take 1,000ms to show that abbreviation title, I use BS tooltips to show this abbreviation.
In this scenario, the tooltip will properly show on mouse-over. But now it is hiding the dotted underline styling that makes this feature discoverable.

This is an interesting use case.
Indeed, Bootstrap Tooltip JS will use title and replace it with data-bs-original-title, and so the dotted default browser rendering will be broken because I suppose that <abbr> uses title to make the dotted rendering. Even the accessibility will be probably broken because the title of an <abbr> is read by screen readers.
Haven't tested it at all but you could maybe try something like this (kinda ugly) in the meantime (even if you'll probably have both tooltips: browser + Bootstrap):
<abbr title="Bootstrap"><span title="Bootstrap">BS</span></abbr> is awesome
<script>
// Activate BS5 tooltips everywhere
[].slice
.call(document.querySelectorAll('[title]'))
.forEach((el) => new bootstrap.Tooltip(el.querySelector('span')));
</script>
The workaround it to add this style:
abbr[data-bs-original-title] {
text-decoration: underline dotted;
cursor: help;
text-decoration-skip-ink: none;
}
