No that's how they used to work. For quite some time now, BLE wireless has supported them connecting individually (but as a single unit) and the phone streams to them both simultaneously. So there's no primary unit and both can function independently without the other. Cheap ones may still be using the old primary/secondary method IDK.
That's sound like a shit ton of battery wasted..., like, yeah now you don't have to trash the earbud if the other one is lost but idk...
Supposedly Bluetooth Low Energy specifically uses less energy than classic Bluetooth. Both because of the radio and protocol differences, and because of more efficient codecs.
Yeah my experience is with custom split keyboards that still use the old method. Likely because keystrokes are waaaay less power than audio streaming.
