The app literally can't send you to the Web page so you can sign up there. It has to say something vague for Apple to approve it for publishing. Here's an example from Kobo [1]. They apparently can't even tell you the domain name.

And how does that actively prevent people from using Spotify on their desktop?

Uh, Apple rejects your app if your app talks about being able to subscribe/upgrade via means other than IAP (includes desktop)
