How is this relevant? Peanut butter isn't spoken like "peanut, butter" it's spoken like "peanutbutter".

It depends. If I'm enunciating clearly as I tend to do when I dictate to voice assistants, I'm going to tend to tend to distinctly pronounce the "t" at the end of peanut and the "b" at the beginning of butter which tends to produce something of a pause between the two words.
