That's a bit weird thing to assume if you have only your machine to check, and I have only mine, so both of us are exactly one case to encounter. But since there are numerous questions and articles about this, it's maybe not only on my machine.

It is possible that it's not tied to an OS version, because I have switched to a different MacBook, too, and it may have been this what stopped music from launching.

I have had 4 different Macs in that time and currently have three that I do not have that problem on. One of the comments on that post points out that it’s not supposed to do that. It really does sound like a very small portion of users are affected by that. I will say that none of my current or former coworkers have ever had that happen (I’ve seen them on video calls put on headphones and it didn’t launch anything), so I’m very inclined to think this was unintended behavior affecting your device. That’s not to say it wasn’t a problem for you, I completely understand shitty Mac bugs ruining things. For example one that won’t let my computer go to sleep because the monitor it is connected with continually wakes it back up. It’s specifically a Mac issue, and only affects a very small fraction of a percent of users.
