As we’re adding single data points, I like to submit that I’m fairly interested in seeing what this has to offer.

Just today I was pleasantly surprised I was seeing some music videos while playing Spotify content and I actually appreciated watching them while exercising, because frankly, there’s no other way I would ever watch a music video any other way nowadays.

Giving artists control of that visual element has to be an intentional way to make the music "stickier". Physical albums had artwork and literature to help a listener get to know an artist. Showing lyrics, music videos, visuals, and other elements may not matter to some listeners, but it definitely is not a mere annoyance.
