We (as a family) moved from Spotify to Apple Music, but it was entirely down to cost. As our kids have grown and gained their own devices we've had to find apps/services that we can share with them. The most successful has been Apple One, having Arcade for them, TV and News for us, the storage, and extras like Fitness, it made sense to get Apple One. At that point we had Apple Music for "free" so decided to migrate after over ten years. Genuinely very happy with it! Many of the complaints in the OP apply to Sonos too though, we brought into it years ago, and are incredible disappointed with the recent changes.

  > At that point we had Apple Music for "free" The cost decision is "given we have purchased x, which service costs more?"

  As an anecdote, my kid is in their pre-teens. They're on their second iPad - got the first one at around age 1-2. I think that's a pretty nice TCO right there.

    > got the first one at around age 1-2. That's brave. I've never owned an iPad, are they are they a lot more resilient to being dropped than I think? My 2yo drops what they're playing with about 4 times per minute. I've settled for a yoto player which I don't let them pick up!

      They've been pretty well coordinated, never dropped tablets and zero broken phones. Meanwhile I see kids at similar ages going around with phones that have screens that are just a complete mush of broken glass. Dunno why.
