(I am running pipewire from Bookworm re-compiled for Bullseye, but I am
confident that the problem occurs in plain Bookworm, too.)

Is it intentional that the systemd user services for pipewire and pipewire-pulse
(and the related socket services) are WantedBy default.target? This causes
them to be started even for users logged in via SSH.

I would expect WantedBy graphical-session.target instead.

This is the expected behavior. There are many pipewire use cases running
without graphical session like with embedded devices. For example, I am
currently working on a pipewire project with an ARM board without any graphical
session.

Thus I mark this bug as "won't fix".
