Apple TV defaults to BT instead of DirCon

I’ve got a KickrV6 connected to my network via DirCon & now WiFi.
When I bring up the pairing screen on Apple TV, the default connection is always BT. I have to go through all three pairings & choose the network symbol.
Not a huge deal but a PITA.
This seems to be a relatively new behavior, at one time the default was the network icon.

Any thoughts on this?
