b) ...no, I think he meant "connect to PC -> copy music -> play music"

I don't know that I know anyone that uses their Android phone to listen to music. To be fair, my wife still uses the iPod nano I gave her instead of the iPhone, for that.

To have a good music experience without syncing one's library requires a great data plan and a really good streaming service. The latter may be coming along—not so much in Canada—but the former is rather expensive.

I think youre missing the part where Android devices just show up as USB devices and you can just drag and drop music, videos, files etc to them - no need for "syncing".
Could be. As I said, I don't own an Android device myself—but don't know of anyone that listens to music on theirs in any case.
Almost everyone I know who owns an Android device uses it to listen to music and podcasts.
