I hope Spotify will we able to bring back volume control of connected devices.

Poorly written article but it does end with a correction that “Spotify has not opted in to using the required APIs”.
While I have no way of knowing who to blame here, I see Spotify trying to blame Apple rather than talk about the api claim. If they have an objection to that api, let’s meet there, a little closer to reality
I believe that only apply to the HomePod
Yeah but that still makes no sense.
I have Spotify and lost that easy volume control capability when this issue first surfaced. However I have never used a HomePod. Whatever changed has nothing to do with my non-existent HomePod
Maybe this is unrelated but there was also a change to HomeKit where we had to accept some sort of architectural update having to do with my non-existent HomePod. I can easily believe a common ground of API changes and that Spotify didn’t want to update
Am only replying to you talking about some unrelated to the issue at hand. That is what they trying to say. Apple removes a feature that we all used, and only mad it only available for apple products.
Nobody who gives a damn about artists being paid fairly and not swindled out of their already miniscule pay should use spotify.
If it wasn't for Spotify, I wouldn't know most of the artists I listen to now. They might receive little money from me listening to them, but it's still more than they would receive if I didn't knew about their existence.
