Investigating this and it seems to depend on the device. On my side this is working as expected on a real device (API 34), but on my emulator (API 33) I can repro the issue. enterPictureInPictureMode is returning false in this case. I am not sure we can do anything about it :/

I played around with it more and my current theory is, that my device stop allowing pip if it gets too hot. Calls make it hot. So thats why I hit this issue occasionally.
