It is to no suprise that nowadays people prefer being spoon fed and gate kept over having everything in their own control. Needing a platform for specifically a type of consoomerism is like letting one company dictate the way people consoom media, unless you actually search for the content you want instead of letting the algorithm feed you, which I rarely see being the case. There are times where the algorithm does good at recommending geniunely unique stuff, but most of the time it's either done by manual searching or manual hopping, unless if one of your social media is friends with the respective and they happily share what you saw on there, if you have an account (which to be fair many do).
Wanting a platform to do everything for you with one aspect (in this case music) is basically just you giving up your own control on music, which I think is fine if you knew that's what it's doing, but what happens more is that most people would not think that's what's happening, and if there ever is a piece of music that they liked that isn't in the platform, they would just tell people to post it in their beloved streaming service instead of accepting it may be what the owner wants, or better yet, learn how to download the content, it is illegal yes, but your spotify apk mod that allows you to skip ads isn't any better.
