Apple named it the Magic Tap for a reason. It does multiple things based on the situation.
It seems like that idea has caught up with them and bit them in the gluteusmaximus.

I see the value of disabling that crossover confusion but do find the magic tap useful for media in general.

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.

I can fined the 'answer a call' button on the phone but I reckon a gesture whereby I can double tap on the screen would be preferable/quicker.
