I had the same problem with my tv, turning on when I turn the radio on, then turning my amp off when I turn the tv off. I disabled all remote startup / wakeup / listen options on both sides. It's still weird as sometimes I get audio from the tv without having to switch the amp to its arc channel, maybe that happens when my setop box is off. I can't reproduce it when I try though. Perhaps the tv switches the channel on the amp since it is still controlling the volume on the amp through hdmi-cec. (Which has an annoying delay to simply using a universal remote)
It's all not very convenient. For best sound quality the amp needs to come first since ARC is limited to dolby digital plus. Yet for 4K the tv needs to come first since my amp can only send through 4k24p max. Plus apps on the tv itself need to output to the amp as well.
So for frustrations, I have my ps4 connected directly to the amp to get lossless 7.1 sound when watching blu-ray. ps4 pro connected directly to the tv for 4k60 output and limited to lossy 5.1 DD+ sound over ARC. Even if it could play 4K UHD it would be a step back in sound quality.
