you're conflating unrelated things
6dof has nothing to do with SpaTial audio and no AirPods Pro/Max weren't designed 'in tandem with' it
you'll get Apple's positional audio (6dof) only with supported hardware - which includes AirPods Pro/Max, iPads and AppleTV - and is designed for positional listening relative to source/device, which has nothing to do w/ Atmos mixed Apple Music spatial tracks discussed here
(and it actually might be 3dof only, not sure since i've never listened to it)
