I feel gnome-shell's behaviour makes more sense.
Still, please report the suggestion to the Gnome developers here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues
and then let us know the URL of the issue report.

Title:
OSD for volume/brightness should only appear on main display
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When watching a movie on an external display it's often useful to
adjust the volume. Currently gnome-shell will display the OSD on both
displays creating an overlay over the video. Unity would only display
on the screen of the app used at the moment. Ideally it would just
always show up on the main display so that you can keep focus on the
video app for other keybindings to still work. I tried searching for
an extension to do this but couldn't find one.
