How am I hypocritical? I am just in favour of not locking in users, and we do not lock in users.
Spotify wants Apple to not change TOS to their favour while doing exactly the same.
So why the surprise that Spotify is doing the same? Yes, it's hypocritical for them to say "Apple locking in users is unfair" then do the same in a situation that benefits them. But to your point, it is human to look out for one's own interests and Spotify is a group of humans doing just that. That doesn't make it right, but would you behave differently in their situation?
Oh, that wasn't about you specifically, just humans in general. We aren't internally consistent, we are all hypocrites.
It isn't a criticism :)
And we're all in favor of no lock-in until it conflicts with our own interests.
