If I have Spotify open, then Spotify plays. If I don't have it open, then Apple Music starts up instead.

Same. Used half a dozen different MacBooks over the last 5 years and always had the right contextual behaviour for the function/touchbar keys

After a clean boot? I find I have to manually start Spotify once for it register on the media keys.
