What about any music player? I want Spotify to be the default, dammit.

I only see the Apple Music app when I open it explicitly. Are there situations where a 'default' music app might appear?

    Yeah, Google Assistant lets you set a default music player or if you already have one open it'll try to use that one by default

      Why can't I set Plex then? It gives you like 4 options. It's interesting that Apple Music is a choice though. Can you choose YouTube Music on iPhone?

    It definitely doesn’t default to Apple Music for me.

  Even on macOS if i accidentally click on the play button of my keyboard without having anything to play (like an open YouTube tab somewhere) will open the Apple Music app which i have never used nor opened myself.

Music isn't mentioned specifically but I believe any app is covered. Article 6: > 4. The gatekeeper shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of third-party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating with, its operating system and allow those software applications or software application stores to be accessed by means other than the relevant core platform services of that gatekeeper. The gatekeeper shall, where applicable, not prevent the downloaded third-party software applications or software application stores from prompting end users to decide whether they want to set that downloaded software application or software application store as their default. The gatekeeper shall technically enable end users who decide to set that downloaded software application or software application store as their default to carry out that change easily.

I've found when talking to Apple-ecosystem users that they aren't even aware of how well Apple Music works. I'm aware there's certain integrations that might not be possible, or a random family member being on Android that would preclude its use, but it really does work great if you don't have any reason to stray from the ecosystem. Lots of people I talk to started using Spotify years ago and just never reevaluated. Similarly, people that only use iPhones and Macs and still use Dropbox. I'm sure someone has curated a list somewhere...
