You can verify from my comment history that I love talking shit about Mr Dye as much as the next guy, but no. Car Play limitations are certainly not an Alan Dye decision. Everything in CarPlay is stripped down cause it's not safe to be navigating menus and doing deep interactions while driving.

The passenger can use the phone if you want to be able to scroll through an artist's catalog, rearrange playlists, etc. CarPlay's UI is a quick way to access your current library.

I didn’t mean it like that. I’m fine with most of the “omissions” on CarPlay (though CarPlay isn’t perfect and has regressed - the Maps UI changes in the past 5-7 years with the disappearing controls and the menus that require a tap, move 6 inches, and tap again, are garbage). I only meant that you can jump to an artist, it’s just hidden, so it’s not one of those things that’s truly being omitted for safety’s sake. That one’s there, but just undiscoverable (because Alan Dye is a clown).
