I don't believe this is a bug. This seems to be a feature. When Bluetooth headphones are connected music always opens and starts playing without prompting. It's annoying and has been annoying users for years. There doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall the music application nor is there a setting in preferences to suppress this.

Hi buckrymkus,
This wouldn't be expected behavior. There are a few steps you can try when experiencing unexpected behaviors.
Hope that helps!
