Default Speakers from Apple TV

I bought a stereo pair of the latest Home Pod for my bedroom. Every time I turn on my system, Apple TV wants to default to the TV speakers instead of the Home Pods. Why can't I change the default speakers in Apple TV settings?

Apple TV HD, tvOS 16

Setting up default speakers to HomePod requires an Apple TV 4K model.

For the HD/4th generation model, other speakers than TV speakers (or receiver speakers over HDMI) are always ‘temporary’.
