It seems it's neither - Spotify is thanking you for giving them money by applying Widevine DRM, which Safari doesn't support (because Apple refuses to support DRM library from Google).

You as a user are now just collateral damage from a pissing contest between two corporations and DRM :)

How's this bad again? Mac users can just install Firefox/Chrome/Spotify app. Sure, it's one more window, but that's about it in terms of inconvenience goes.

I refuse to use any other browser on a Mac. The energy consumption of Chrome, for example, is non-negligible.

Firefox is really pretty decent nowadays.
