One reason to use something like this would be to listen to music offline. Spotify doesn't support offline music on WearOS watches, but they do on Garmin and Samsung watches. It's not a technical issue, since Google music supported offline music on watches for years.

So once again, greedy business practices makes it more inconvenient for paying users than for pirates.

Same with Apple Watch - why exclude the most popular wearable?
That doesn't allow offline music, so you need the LTE version if you want to go running without a phone. I'm pretty sure Spotify is selling offline music exclusivity to Samsung and Garmin.
Because apple stopped their app so they can promote their own service instead and now we are seeing a lawsuit?
