I digitized the CDs I still had left a couple years ago. Over half of them were not on Spotify. And they weren’t even anything obscure, just electronica where licensing is often a bit complicated.

A noticeable number of Bob Dylan's live albums are all mutilated in online distribution (streaming and download, everything), because somebody somehow managed to drop the gapless between-tracks transitions. (Those missing bits exactly match the pre-gap on the corresponding CD releases, so it almost feels as Columbia just ripped its own CDs for uploading and somehow mismanaged the process).
