I didn't have great luck with Discover Weekly either, but I also suspect that there was a familiarity bias in play -- Apple Music was the first service I paid for, so I stuck with it and found lots of things that I really liked. When I tried Spotify a few months ago for a while, it just didn't feel like it was materially better and I found the UI a little confusing (see: familiarity bias), so there didn't seem to be any reason to switch.
I have a suspicion that if I'd actually paid for Spotify and stuck with it for a few years, though, the reverse would be true. My gut feeling is that these two services just aren't different enough in practice to make switching between them worth it for most users, unless they want a feature in the larger ecosystem (e.g., AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect).
