I'm betting the Bluetooth ID given by the controller advertises that it is a speaker, and Windows is assuming a newly connected speaker is where the person wants to output audio. I mean, why else would you connect a speaker? /s
Fun fact: The PS5 controller also includes a microphone. My circle didn't know a hot mic was listening in on everything until we noticed background audio in one of our captures.
