Any application or website can select the default microphone or a specific audio device which can cause that bluetooth issue. And lots of applications are enabling the microphone even if they don't need it. I don't think switching away from mac would solve that.
On KDE at least the Bluetooth widget lets you pick which audio profile to use, so if for some reason it decides to switch to a duplex profile you can just switch it back, though I can't remember the last time I was forced to do that.
The default microphone is set to another microphone.
I can assure you that I didn't have this issue in Linux. :) There were other issues, of course, but they were at least solvable.
Most conferencing applications or sites use a separate 'preferred' microphone and select that one.
I'll look into if it has something to do with that. Thanks for the tip
