The press release somehow forgot to touch the core of the fine: apple customers paid higher subscription fee for apple music than they would for Spotify because it's against app store policy to inform that Spotify has a cheaper subscription if they don't want to pay apple 30% cut...

Spotify doesn’t pay Apple anything and yet has a 56% share of the EU market.
The market share of iOS in the EU is only around 35% though. The market this is about isn't the market for music streaming apps but the market for iOS apps.
I noticed this narrative in their press release. They don't really mention Spotifys share just on iOS. If it's less than 56%, clearly something's up, right?
