Spotify plays the music when you tell it to though. I've heard Apple Music streaming can be a bit laggy to start.

This is true. Apple Music is excellent, but slower than the competition when searching and browsing.

I heard it also is laggy even starting songs.

Spotify has significantly worse quality than Apple Music.

So that could be one reason it takes longer to buffer.

Citation needed. This sounds like audiophile craziness. https://support.spotify.com/us/article/audio-quality/

256b/s AAC is well enough for it to be indistinguishable from lossless.
