I guess it’s ironic if you ignore the DRM part. Apple took two hardline positions on web tech and not everyone is playing by both of these rules. It kinda looks like a temporary lapse on the part of Spotify while they go through a transition, though. The other major players (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Pandora, etc.) all seem to have abandoned Flash without abandoning Safari.

Netflix stopped working for me with Safari about a year ago, when I have an external monitor plugged in. It complains about some display drm nonsense, I guess because my external monitor could be a recording device? Either way, keep chrome around and up to date just for watching netflix and it does not make me happy.

Netflix HTML5 player refuses to run on older CPUs in Safari. I have a 2009 Mac Pro with a copy of Firefox installed just so I can watch Netflix.

Which ones? Desktop Safari still supports Flash and it has DRM available in the form of FairPlay. It's the latter which those other platforms are presumably using.
