There are always 2 sides to it. Especially when one side makes the other look like a blithering idiot.
A few points:
* Without Apple, Spotify would be worthless and not reached any users at all, never grown
* Apple is doing the heavy-lifting of building and distributing Apple Watch, HomePod, iPhones. Spotify is creating little additional value in comparison
* Spotify repeatedly tried to cheat Apple's system and they were blocked and rejected (in my opinion) rightfully. They tweaked wordings, they even linked to a website that first looked harmless and would be MODIFIED after the app is approved.
I'm not sure Spotify's behavior is ANY better.
