Most people don't care, they want to pay 10/mo, have a "reasonably" good UI and play music. They don't want to keep track of 6 different URLs to find music.
Note: I probably listen to Somafm through Sonos just as much as Spotify and I donate.

Sifting through the comment section, it doesn't seem like Spotifys UI or their competitors is "reasonably" good, but the majority of the internet users need to have banner ads, discounts and influencer-BS shoved down their throats to feel valued as a customer. All of the aforementioned radio stations offer a modern and slick UI and UX instead of that annoying, omnipresent bubblegum-aesthetic used by those big orgs trying to lure in teenagers like tobacco firms in the 90's('get em' young!'). So instead of throwing money at a multi-billion dollar conglomerat maybe consider donating a fraction of the money to your favorite community radio station(which you allegedly do!) or buy some records from your local record store instead. Btw I am an UI/UX designer. And I use Arch.
