Spotify has spent over half a billion dollars on acquisitions and investments into its podcasts division, there is zero chance they ever intentionally implement anything that might impede the returns on that spending.

They get ROI if people subscribe to spotify. Why would they care whether I listen to podcasts through their official app or through a 3rd party's app?
If spotify's podcasts are available in my preferred podcast app after I've logged in to my spotify account, they still get paid. And I'll listen to & appreciate way more of their podcasts that way. And they can use it as another funnel for potential customers.
Its win-win.
