The addition of lyrics a year or two back was nice.

I'm confused as to why their TV app doesn't have a visualizer. Seems that would be an obvious add.

I could swear lyrics were a thing ten years ago as an app in Spotify
Yes! Part of my disdain for Spotify recently is because they removed lyrics about six years ago and when you clicked the button, it started saying "lyrics will be back soon". Then that button disappeared for like five years...
Lyrics are notoriously difficult to license. If I had to guess, I'd say they disappeared for legal reasons, not because there was a lack of will from the product/tech side.
