I feel you. Sometime i want to play white noise or lullaby to my baby on the speaker while listening to podcasts on the buds, but one pauses the other. It's an unnecessary software limitation.

On a related note, it used to be possible to use a splitter to connect two sets of earbuds to watch a movie together on a plane. It's not possible now with Bluetooth, you can output sound to only one device.

If you have an iOS device and AirPods you can actually do this.

On another related note, I wish I could use my earbuds to listen to two devices at the same time. Like my phone and my Steam Deck.
