I really wish they’d decouple it from YouTube Music. I don’t use it and if just Premium was about $10 or so I’d at least consider it.

    I'm pretty sure this is good old fashioned bundling. They have all the data they could ever want on who uses it and how much, and made the decision to include it. And by that I don't mean they're being benevolent because most people want it. I mean they likely know it will make them more money overall because more people won't use both.

    Hmm that makes sense. I’m unfortunately all in on Apple’s ecosystem, since Apple Music links to iTunes Store, where I can buy music I like from my Recently Added list. And ever so often, I’ll get a GDPR request and run my own version of Replay that doesn’t have numbers rounded.
