That’s 100% on Spotify and how they’re implementing playback. I have Sonos speakers and Bluetooth headphones paired with my iPhone, and Overcast is able to display the selected output without any Bluetooth permission requests.
Spotify Connect is likely why they need a permission request... but the question for me is why they need it on app startup and not a one-time request when starting the Connect pairing process. Good security procedures would have the app requesting as few permissions as possible, for the shortest amount of time.

The downside is that occasionally Overcast stops playing because Spotify wants so much to take over and start playing. But it’s hard to say if that’s an iOS beta thing. Similarly, the app still ships for iOS 12 right now, it’s possible the iOS 13 version of the app will have a clearer explanation for the use of Bluetooth.
