This is the result of Apple not implementing Googles DRM solution in their browser. Since DRM is an upstream requirement from the record labels, Spotify is in a tough spot. They could conceivably offer the parts of the library that are not under DRM requirements to users though.

I don't know that there is a DRM-free part of the library. I know I didn't get an option to add or opt out of DRM when uploading through DistroKid. All I have for comparison is Draft2Digital for eBook distribution, and it does have a DRM toggle.
Though for Spotify and other streaming sites, I would want a DRM option because I provide a way for people to buy the music DRM-free in any format they want with a reasonable license.
