It's not even all of music but just a subset of music that has compulsory licensing. If you want to use a band's song in a commercial for your product you can't if they won't let you.
You also see this flare up in politics from time to time generally when a GOP candidate plays a song from a liberal leaning band at events and the band demands that this stop.
