Spotify calls out apple, says it’s time to play fair. Thoughts on this? (propaganda, market)

It has to do with unfair business practices and how Apple tries to tilt the playing field to their advantage.

On the flipside, according to a comment I’ve read, Spotify aren’t saints themselves:

Spotify is only producing propaganda like this because they are trying to deflect from the fact that they are trying to block the Music Modernization Act which would increase payouts to artists by 44% per stream over 4 years. In fact Spotify, Pandora, Google Play, Amazon and Tidal are all against this act and only Apple is not opposing it. Apple should let Spotify use some of these basic features such as Siri, sure, but dont be fooled by the facade they are putting up of trying to be "for the listener". They are still just a profit driven company and don't care about the artists who drive their platform.

I think Apple controls less than 20% of the smartphone market. They also make a proprietary music service. Why is Spotify complaining when they can hit 80% of the market? Why should Apple give their competitors equal access to their store?
