Android does have an app for Apple Music though it's been years since I've used it. I was quite happy to pay the subscription fee but an update broke the whole app for me. It would play only a part of the song and then suddenly skip to the next one.

My music taste also diverges drastically but Apple seemed to handle it quite well IIRC.

True. And even with public transit, activities like taking kids to soccer practice / music school requires carrying some equipment along. Not really convenient lugging duffelbags if there is more than one kid.

I use a .me domain myself but I haven't had any spam problems. Although I share it very very sparingly and have a catchall on another domain that I use for signing up with any service / sharing with non-trusted contacts. Even there, the spam problem isn't bothersome.

I assume a change of scenery and being left to your own thoughts without distractions is a factor. anecdote Driving into the countryside helps me string together plans better than sitting in a room and blankly staring at a screen.
I just realized that I do that. It's just some misplaced pity from having worked in customer service where performance was tied into customer ratings.

Edit: [Disclaimer] I work with them. To clarify, the container is already built, you can build hybrid or native apps on top of that.
