Someone, perhaps at Apple: Please explain this behavior.

I turn on my Bluetooth headphones. I watch a video on my Mac. The video ends. I turn off the headphones. Some other device, perhaps a phone or iPad, elsewhere in the room immediately starts playing music through its speakers using the Music app. I did not ask for this. I do not want this. I think this is an inexplicable design choice. I just turned the headphones off; why is that a signal I want to listen to something somewhere, anywhere that you can find? Baffling.

So what I think happened is that it had to turn on my car's audio system to play back the message, but doing that made my phone wake up and go "ooh, a new audio device! Time to resume playing music!" which took precedence over the "play back a discord message over TTS" task it was trying to do, so it ended up just dropping it on the floor. So I got Sufjan, instead of whatever message was headed my way

@robpike it’s actually worse on my Sony headphones because it’s an indeterministic race between all the paired devices to connect, and I get the first two fastest devices until I open the app to cull connections. Bluetooth multipoint just absolutely sucks. Go back to the hifi tuner knob to select inputs or figure something out in software.
@robpike This triggers my PTSD from when they foisted Songs of Innocence on everyone and it would randomly autoplay in my pocket unprovoked.
@robpike My favorite is when I cannot ever bind my phone to the car’s Bluetooth, because when wife or MIL start the car and I’m in the house, my phone switches to it.
@robpike This happens at work. A coworker is listening to music, then walks away. At that point, the music is now playing through the speaker instead of his BTLE headphones. Very annoying in an open office setting.
