Because under the DMA rulings they do not qualify as Gatekeeper Platforms IIRC


Bingo. And this is the problem with the DMA. Protectionist and gerrymandered.

Why isn't Spotify part of the DMA? Who knows!? Ask any musician and they'll tell you it should be.


I am p sure what you should rather be mad at is Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group.

Spotify also has competition (more than 1) in Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music (and Deezer?), at least those are the ones I always see popping up and being used/talked about. There are then places like Bandcamp that provide something similar, but not the same.
