All of your questions are irrelevant in the US because the First Amendment guarantees Spotify and YouTube the right to speech. They can't be forced by the government to broadcast Trump or Rogan. It's like asking if it's better for the government to take away everyone's guns. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but it doesn't matter because of the Second Amendment. If you want to prevent corporate censorship, the solution is to break up near-monopolies like YouTube, Google, and Audible, not to force private companies to stop curating their content catalogs.
