PipeWire separates the audio of every program, how do I combine them?

It seems like now, every application gets an independent audio configuration. When I go into pavucontrol I see "Spotify" where I configure the volume and output device that Spotify sends sound to. But if I also open a Youtube video in my browser, the browser becomes an independent setting that I must configure also.

In qpwgraph I also see that each application has now become a node, linked to a device.

I don't really want to configure volume and output device for every single program one by one. I use a lot of different programs, it would be quite tedious to do so. Instead, I want to control "all sound from all programs" with one setting. Is there a way to do this in PipeWire?
