Can you expand on why you see activities 2 - 6 as music discovery?
In all those cases, I would probably be listening to known music, not discovering new music.
I for one, would probably pay the same for Spotify even if it did not offer music, but just the discovery features offered by itself and by 3rd party apps in it's ecosystem.
When using discover weekly, usually when I hear something I like, I mark it as liked which adds it to my library and then enqueue the top tracks of that artist/each artist if they are artists I never listened to before.
3rd party apps allow me to do this more often, or follow other discovery paths.
