This is a great point. It's truly no different than a third party manufacturer writing some device firmware to connect with Spotify.

But as a sibling has posted, this is a posture / plausible deniability thing.

I've looked it up a few years ago, so this may have changed, but at the time you couldn't just ask Spotify for the SDK / docs to build your own Connect client. I don't remember the details, but you'd have to jump through some hoops, at which point I stopped looking since I wasn't about to build anything industrial. I expect some terms would be that you'd at least try to protect the keys.
