All I know about modern Apple Music is that it’s always active in now playing when nothing else is playing, and accidentally pressing play sometimes summons an account setup screen.
I never use it, and wish I could delete it.
If it makes you feel any better it doesn't detect activity well even if something is actually playing.
I regularly go to pause Apple Music and the play/pause button on my keyboard instead starts playing a YouTube video in some background tab/window.
