I'm genuinely curious: why not use an alternative to Apple Music?

Great question:

- I'm all-in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, Watch, ATV4K, Airport Express). So are my family members.

- I'm on a family plan so $15/4 is a price that can't be beat. I do not live with the family members I share the plan with. This is relevant because:

- I actually had a friend share their Spotify Family plan with me and Spotify insisted I prove I lived in the same address! Apple doesn't ask for anything beyond linking Apple IDs to a family.

- The actual service/catalog provided by AM is fantastic, but overall I'm very unsatisfied with the UX of Apple's music apps.
