Nah, it's not a platform that generates money based off eyeballs scrolling through ads, keeping the interface front and center for longer etc.
Spotify optimises for music/podcast/audiobooks hours consumed or songs added to playlist/downloads etc. Being lost in the UI would very much be a negative signal in the data, and easy to separate out from "I love the app and am able to play the content I want" for any analytics team.
