That’s an unfathomably long time for an application of the complexity of Spotify.

No it’s not, and the Spotify app is clearly fairly complex.

What do you know about the complexity of the Spotify app?

It's a music player and not even a good one.

Is it really just a music player? All it does is fetch some binary blob in some audio format and play it?

I feel this is another Dropbox moment [1] on Hacker News where the hyper-smart ones here dismiss a whole technology/company on their most simplistic assumptions about what the product actually is doing.

What you're saying has nothing to do with the complexity of their app.
