Android may be “81%” of the market but then you have to subtract China and you have to take into account where the paying customers are.

Apple has more than half the number of paying customers with a much smaller phone market share (https://www.cultofmac.com/605166/spotify-now-has-96-million-...)

It’s well known that Android users don’t spend nearly as much as iOS users.

Apple Music is available on Android and the web. It’s not a “walled” service like iMessage or FaceTime is.

I think Apple Music is good for discovery. Probably not as good, but for many of us it hits the "good enough" mark. I confess I'm an Apple Music subscriber mostly because I'm just in that ecosystem, and it's relatively low effort; I'm also a Tidal subscriber because it was the only service integrated with Roon (a music server package I use), although I'm still debating that one.

Something similar. Yes. I’ve heard that it wasn’t as good. But is that something you would want to base your company on?

It’s just like Facebook stopped the growth of Snapchat just by introducing Stories.

There are literally almost two decades of failures in the streaming subscription music space. Like Jobs said about DropBox. Streaming music is becoming a feature not a product.
