#3Simple answer might just be that there's only so much that can differentiate one streaming service from another.
If we're making comparisons to the traditional music industry, the streaming services might not be the labels -- they could be the recording formats. Just as with buying a CD player vs buying a Minidisc player, very few people with go through the cost or effort to use many different forms of media.

#4I can't remember the last time I sat down and spent dedicated time just listening to music. It is the same restlessness that I have when I try to medidate. Songs are just boring and I need to have an excuse to listen to music - like driving so I can optimize the time. "I am driving, might as well take advantage of some music". The internet has ruined peace, fun, and everything that I remember growing up. :-(

I still think automated playlist creation has a ways to go. That would be the differentiator to me. I hate spending time creating playlists because I have horrible memory of bands and song names. For some reason there isn't enough feedback on the app I use though. For example there's no "I love this song, but you've played this song too much for me lately"

#7> TikTok is also giving music streaming platforms a run for their money.
TikTok relies on music and is popular enough now that they must have some license deal with the labels. I the amount per 30 second clip isn't much but I know people who spend hours on TikTok daily.

#8There's an inherent upper limit for streaming music. You can only listen to one stream at a time.

You’ve never watched tv with music playing in the background?

Try listening to older music. It's less boring and tries to bring out an emotion. A lot of the newer music has proshopped out any real emotion.
