If Apple's going to be a services company now, wouldn't it be great if they kept themselves honest (and their products great) by honoring a level playing field for the services they compete with e.g. Spotify?

I think this sentence speaks for itself. Apple's record on whether they will discourage competitors on their own turf speaks for itself.

Maps was a wakeup call for them, it'd be cool if they lit a fire like that across the board for their products.

True, but the tendency is for people and companies to push it out of their minds as an "aberration" and refuse to learn a thing.
