Can I ask why you hate Spotify? Is there a problem with their service or is it more about how they treat artists?

As long as you turn on “Advanced Data Protection” then iCloud is end to end encrypted.
This doesn’t include mail, calendar or contacts but for iCloud files (which would cover what’s being asked here) it is e2e encrypted.
Outside of work I’ve degoogled with the exception of google calendar (shared family google calendar so that would need to bring everyone along with me!) and unfortunately the google Wi-Fi/nests.
I would like to swap out the google Wi-Fi but it just seems like such a lot of money to waste and they are working at the moment for the mesh Wi-Fi. I’ve just made sure to disable and opt out to as many of the google analytic tracking as possible.
True, but if some people don’t pirate just for free stuff, they do because the paid alternatives are either non existent or of poor quality.
Spotify gives you a really huge library of music to stream with easy to use good quality apps across pretty much everything all without the need of juggling dozens of other subscriptions and jumping through hoops for regional access etc
