When you play a video from Apple Music in the Music app on Mac, sound does not transfer to homepod and you cannot select the homepod speaker in the Music app.

MacOS Catalina 10.15.5

Happily listen to music from apple music with output to my homepod, selected within apple music. When I switch to a music video from apple music, the homepod disconnects and sound is transferred to my macbook pro. You can't select the homepod speaker in the Music app, and clicking the speaker icon only makes the volume go to maximum on the macbook pro.

One assumes this is an intentional choice on Apple's part, rather than a bug, even if neither you or I agree with the logic. I suggest you use Feedback - macOS - Apple to request a change to this behaviour.
