If I had to guess this is partially because Spotify has actual humans with ears who are categorizing specific artists into genres. Not because of any great advancement in AI. If you like portishead, you might like (similar thing).

Just within electronic music, look at how many genres and sub-genres have been categorized by someone simply as a hobby project. Now updated for the web 2.0 era.

Yeah the actual humans with ears are me and you. They use play-time as the basis for recommendation as well as content-similarity, and put effort into de-biasing this data for, e.g., position bias. This is the same for YouTube etc.

Spotify is one of the best examples of a modern large-scale recommender system, for me.
