There's a sense in which summary views are the real data. If I asked Spotify to share my data, and they just sent me a 250 MB file of every interaction they've ever recorded, I would conclude they're trying to obfuscate which data they actually use and how they use it.

Yeah. If Netflix sends me every byte I've ever viewed, that's pretty useless.
Exhaustive list of your data (sorted, redundant copies not included):

0x00

0x01

0x02

0x03

...

0xFE

0xFF

I think just 0 and 1 would suffice ;)

The default export only include the last 90 days so it's not just limited in details.
