The automatic switching (which is indeed documented in the release of PulseAudio 10 [1]) doesn't seem to work for all users by the sound of it. And people are probably justified in complaining if they find Windows 10 or Android does a better job with the same headset.
I am not one of those users but I see enough complaints to believe the issue is still real. How real, I don't know... we only seem to be getting complaints about Ubuntu 18.04 (PulseAudio 11.1). But that could also be related to the general tendency of people to prefer the latest LTS.
I wish it was that simple.
