What Hacker News says?
The head of podcasting for Spotify published a medium article[0] earlier this year. If you read it you'll see every drawback of rss he lists is actually power in the hands on the consumer. They are actively opposed to openness and most certainly don't want to "improve that state for consumers." 0. https://mignano.medium.com/podcasting-rss-openness-and-choic...
