Well simple really. Some music come to out of speaker better. When it does fill a room, sounds pretty good. Instead, using headphones do sound better for subtleties.

This do is the same for LPs vs digital. Uninterrupted, gapless playback sometimes. Other times, it is nice to do flip it over.

not the guy who said "i like ice cream" but mine is Mint Chocolate Chip

I just had coffee flavor. Pretty good.

Older music was mastered for speakers because owning a giant hi-fi setup used to be a big deal for middle class people, just like well maintained lawns and new cars
Ever since the walkman became big, however, music is more mastered for headphones (this includes remasters) because people would rather just have a pair of headphones for home and on the go than invest in both speakers and headphones

If I had to guess, I'd say it's whatever the producer/engineer primarily used for mixing. If someone does all their mixing on monitors, it might not translate very well into speakers. Vice/versa. I've noticed a lot of pop tends to sound shitty in headphones, and a lot of rock tends to sound better in headphones.
