It's a bit of both. The intention is probably to start the app when you "plug in" earphones. But something about putting the Galaxy Buds back into their charging case, or sometimes just taking them out, causes a state change (reconnect?) that triggers it.

The dark pattern is to start the Music app.

On my Apple Watch 3, when on a run, I would look at my watch for heart rate and pace, but Apple would always show Music first, even though i don’t listen to music when running.

Bought a Garmin watch immediately after that.

This hasn't happened to me a few iOS versions ago with the Buds Plus.

Sorry, I realize I didn't make it clear, but I meant Mac OS (on a MBP).
