#2> This article explains how students do not follow the same organization paradigm based on folders and local file management. This could be, in part, attributed to the new ways young students learn, which is on online first operating systems or tablets, where by default, the local system is hidden and also where everything is done through applications.
For me it was because I realized that the time I spent doing this had exactly zero benefit. At least to me.
This quote comes off as somewhat elitist. If someone hasn't developed the same workflow as you, that doesn't mean they are less informed or skilled.

#3The more I use a streaming music service like Spotify, the more new music I find, but the shorter my musical memory becomes.

#4Music-as-a-Service is fantastic as a convenience, and I too have discovered a lot of great music this way, but (a) I all the time want to listen to a record and find it missing from their catalogs; and (b) as with so much else on the web, I'm so over the constant minor psychological drag of knowing that my interactions are being tracked, logged, and gamed.

#5Is there a library-focused video streaming service?

#6I prefer to buy, not rent music. Bandcamp is good for it and they sell FLAC. This is also fitting comparison to cassettes library a lot more than Apple Music where it's not your library, but Apple's.
Other stores like 7digital are also good.

If you consistently like/heart songs as you go along, put your Liked Songs list on shuffle sometime - you'll find great old gems!

Music is probably one of the only services where I get value out of being tracked and logged; I listen to enough different artists that it's very easy to lose track of something, and to find myself in a rut of listening to the same 10 artists for weeks on end. One thing Apple Music does pretty well is providing a bunch of different gradually-learning thingies that keep the rotation fresh.

#9This is exactly why I started using Apple Music. Some of my music collection isn’t on streaming platforms but Apple Music let’s me host it and stream it in a library right alongside music I don’t “own”.
I also generally like the paradigm of being able to collect streamed music into a library so I can come back to things again and again. Back when I last used Spotify around 2015 I used the starred playlist to do this but it was no substitute for just being able to see a collection of albums. I’m not sure if Spotify’s UX around having a “library” of music had improved since then.

At least out of context, I don't see any judgement words in the quoted text to suggest one way is better than the other.
It's a bit like saying "people put food in their fridge and take it out, without ever stopping to check if the refrigerant is still working. This might be because they didn't grow up with having to refill the ice box."
