It's not just the tips, but the stem and overall shape can be problematic too. EarPods and AirPods hang off the ears by protrusions on ears called tragus and antitragus, and the triangular cavity behind it, but that part can be just wide open hemisphere for some people. Maybe ethnicity has a role in it. If those are, the earphones become cantilevered on ear canals with most of its mass unsupported and just follows Newtonian physics.
And tbh, I have this problem. Most circular shaped earphones are complete non-issue for me, many TWS models included, but not Apple earphones. Supposedly they offer SoTA performances in many domains, so it's kind of sad that I don't get to buy them myself or recommend to anyone unless they change it back to more commonly used shapes.
