That’s exactly how they work. Same with a lot of combo keyboard and mouse systems, or split keyboard. One device does double duty so you only need 1 Bluetooth connection.
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.
Could it be that only one of them connects to the phone, and then connects to the other earbud also, thus using up more power?

That’s sound like a ton shit of battery wasted…, like, yeah now you don’t have to trash the earbud if the other one is lost but idk…
