How to stop Music App opening automatically

How can stop this app from opening constantly while I'm at work, on a zoom call and putting in headphones?

Surely Apple wouldn't force bloatware down the throats of its users that pay a premium for a better user experience, I must not be trying the right things.

How can the Music app be disabled?

AppleMusic Override By Other Apps When I’m listening to Apple’s Music app, and I open a web browser or social media, a video playing in that app will override Music. This is especially annoying if it’s a video that plays automatically, so I can’t just not click it. Even more annoying when I’m using HomePod, and an ad or video is suddenly blaring across my house. Can I make it stop? Can Apple make it stop? Do I need to pull out the old 8-track player when I want to use my phone?

How does one disable Apple Music autoplay Apple Music autoplays randomly, when terminating a phone call or when connecting to a bluetooth device (not AirPlay type device) like my older automobile. I've followed the typical instructions to disable it, via the infinity looking icon. But, my version of the app doesn't display that icon. How can I disable it completely or perhaps better yet, permanently delete or disable Apple Music since I use a different service anyway?
