9to5Mac:

It would be much more convenient for Spotify users if they could simply select Spotify as their default music player.

That would benefit many of Apple’s customers, but what about Apple itself? It might seem that Apple would be shooting itself in the foot to help a competing streaming service in this way.

I’d argue the opposite, however. I think Apple would be doing itself a favor on three counts, with almost no downside.

Apple should allow users to replace any default app they choose, not just Spotify.
