Spotify's shuffle algorithm can't be changed easily because too many people rely on its existing quirks. Which means that Spotify's ability to keep it at a reliably stable level of unreliability for so long, through so many other platform changes, makes it a prime example of why Spotify is a perfect choice for enterprise! ;)

This is peak enterprise UX.
