I went into settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, Commands, and turned off Magic 
tap fork media, so now it works to answer the phone without starting music

This is a 16 pro running iOS 26.
Earphones can still answer by tapping the button too.
Certain earphones, I suspect by Apple, and maybe others you can tell Siri to 
answer.
HTH,
