I'm glad that Spotify is taking this stance. Apple and Google Play together have an effective monopoly on the mobile device app market, which is worth about 70 bln USD per year. Cost of entry and network effects make it essentially impossible to have new competing app stores, so barring new regulations the market will remain as un-free as it is. It's therefore about time for regulators to step in if we want to promote innovation in the app market that doesn't necessary align with the self-interests of Apple and Google, so I'm glad a relatively well-known company such as Spotify is pushing for this.
