@mu5a5hi thanks for posting the issue and providing the video

This is known issue with Inline Entity Form which Field Collection 8.x-2.x is built on. #2685219: Complex saves reference twice if left open and not required

Going to postpone till that 1 gets fixed but I am going to link the issue so we remember to make that IEF fix works in this case also.
