This is only a problem with headsets that have poor drivers.
Better devices like Jabra headsets integrate directly with Teams and will actually synchronize mute status between the headset and Teams!

YMMV but 0 of my WFH colleagues own business-grade headsets though. Some have Airpods, and most use Gaming headsets (like I do) or Bose QuietComfort (which IIRC don't have dedicated mute buttons).
Until we find a unified API around all those devices, a prescribed unified usage pattern IMO doesn't make sense yet.
