TBF, if you're doing it properly you should be using any exrarnal audio at line level and amplify it outside your phone to keep all audio devices at a standard level, it prevents some devices from playing too loud and some playing too quiet it also prevents clipping.
Using an Aux cable I have to crank my stereo up to be able to hear it even with my phone set to max volume. It doesn't have an output level that's a reasonable volume.
That's pure wishful thinking. The vast majority of users wouldn't even know what line level is, and you can't expect end users to have audio engineering expertise. You also can't expect anyone other than an audiophile or actual audio engineer to be able to get alll of their consumer electronics conform to such a standard
Devices used to have a dedicated line out you were never supposed to use headphone ports on external devices so technically you are just working outside of the standard, so technically your device is incompatible with all those external devices you are using, what we really need is a new protocol that is designed to keep everything at the same level on external devices.
Given that we're discussing the behaviour of phones, I'm quite certain that there was never a time when they generally had line out ports. Also, I can't imagine people are connecting their Bluetooth speakers to the wrong interface.
What you're describing is still wishful thinking, because there's no world where every consumer device is going to have accurately calibrated volume regardless of whether there's a protocol which specifies it.
If we're discussing Bluetooth that is entirely on the manufacturer to make sure it is seen as an external device instead of headphones if your device is showing as an external device and you are still getting that message then it is a bug with your phone.
But anyway you look at it a head phone port was designed for headphones exclusively and using it in any other way is incorrect , we have a work around it's called line out and it should never go above line level line out is lower than a headphone port so the audio warning should not affect it at all if it does you are either not amplifying your audio correctly or the manufacturer made it incorrectly.
