Apple Music is a miniscule part of service revenue compared to App Store, payments from Google ($20 Billion a year), AppleCare, etc.

Right, and before you even get into password sharing you have stuff like this: Apple Family Plan: Costs $25.95 per month, includes Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and 200GB of iCloud+ storage, and allows sharing with up to five other people

So $5.20/mo per head and you get TV, games and storage with it.

Or Spotify Family Plan - 6 Premium accounts for family members under one roof. $11.49/month

So family plans seem to discount unlimited music streaming down to $2/mo per head.

$24/year or what a single CD used to cost, before even doubling it for inflation..
