On a thread discussing the various streaming options all of this information is entirely irrelevant. Managing a digital library is not appealing to 99% of people.
You may as well tell people to cook their own food in a thread discussing the various food delivery options.
I wouldn't say that's true. Probably 99% of people who use a streaming service still manage their library on that platform in some capacity (playlists, etc.)
Now if you're talking about "owning and managing your entire library" then yeah, I'd say most people probably don't care or are too lazy to bother with it. (and I don't mean that as an insult)
Still, for people who like or listen to music that isn't included in their primary music streaming service's library, owning portions of their library will often give them the capacity to mix in the rest of their music to their platform of choice. I wouldn't say that's irrelevant when talking about streaming services. Sadly, Apple makes this process more difficult than it needs to be.
