I also have bluetooth headphones I use with a mac, and that’s never happened to me. Is it a new thing with the M1 machines or something?

Nope, I’ve never had this happen to me on my M1 machine, Bluetooth or 3,5mm headphones. If you don’t have another media app focussed or active, pressing a media control button/key will open Music iirc.
Haven't seen this either. Both my wife and I are on M1 MacBooks.
It happens to me every time I connect my QC35s to a 2018 MacBook Pro. It's extremely annoying.
Doesn't happen on my 2018 MBP with my QC35 IIs.
No. It is generated by the headphones. Some Bluetooth devices, when activated, will try to restart playing and they send a “play” command to the host which responds with the most recent audio app. Many car audio systems do this, too.
