On top of that I don't think streaming music and videos is completely the same thing. I think for video new content is vastly more valuable than the back catalog, keeping a steady stream of fresh exclusives might be enough to justify a Netflix subscription.
Meanwhile I'd say that maybe 2/3rds of my playlists are tracks from the past decade or older. Having only access to a subset of the music being produced today is not really enough for me to justify paying 10 euros a month. When I hear some music that I like on the radio I fully expect to be able to find it on Spotify and most of the time I'm right. If suddenly I have to use 3 different streaming services to access all the music I like then it'll be back to pirating for me. How do you even compile a playlist in these conditions?
I really don't think that "pulling a Netflix" would make any sense for Spotify at all, and it would be a terrible thing for the users.
