With the advent of streaming music as popular as it is (and surely Apple had to see that becoming the trend), this seems largely like a non-issue from a storage perspective. In fact, it's really only costing Apple more money in bandwidth because they still have to transmit that data - though I'd bet it compresses extremely well.

Apple Music stores music locally. On my 512GB iPhone it’s the number one consumer of space

  Depends whether you download it or just stream it.

  And by default it works like cache. If you need space the music files are the first to go since they can just be re-downloaded.

Unless they have unlimited data the end user is also paying directly for this, not just Apple.
