It’s entirely limitations of Apple Airplay that are known and not new. Whether it’s Apples fault - I mean Airplay does what it says it does. Anybody that cares about would simply not use Airplay.
If you want to use Apple Music then the best bet is an Apple TV which can stream it over HDMI to the receiver.
But it’s not like there aren’t alternative music providers - Spotify, qobuz, tidal, your own pick your poison DLNA all +/- Roon.
I’m not an Apple fanboi but having to purchase an Apple TV when it’s pretty clear they’re a lifestyle brand just doesn’t make me feel too bad for anyone.

Apple is a hardware company - they need you to buy at least something for that HT setup. I mean use Apple Music or don’t, but this sounds a bit leopards ate my face.
