Is this still true 18 months later?
I've already got a couple different music streaming subscriptions (Tidal, Qobuz, etc), and was thinking about adding spotify, and one of the biggest reasons was for the integration with my car (I'm tired of pulling out my phone; I have some FLAC files on a USB but that's obviously a limited library, and navigation in the Tesla isn't speedy and there's limited (no?) metadata, etc).... but 96 kbps bitrate is bad... like 2003, wild-wild-west internet KaZaA bad... that'd probably be a deal-breaker for me and my interest in picking up yet another music service.
