It's very much more than supporting 'one product'. Off the top of my head, regarding engineering, I can think of:

1. iOS App 2. Android App 3. Windows App 4. Microsoft App 5. Web App 6. Underlying API 7. Artist Portal/App 8. Advertising Portal/App 9. PlayStation App 10. Xbox App

There are probably entire engineering teams for each micro-service in the overall product (personalization, playlists, player, etc.).

They have Spotify apps on everything: Garmin watches, Roku TVs, the "Car Thing", Amazon Echo, Facebook Portal, Discord, Bixby...

That's a lot of apps to maintain and keep up to date with the latest features.

They used to have Soundtrap, which is a DAW in the browser and had two separate apps. They sold it back to the founders AFAIK.
