Music is probably one of the top 3 things people do on their Apple devices so it's important for Apple to control that experience in some way. If people are leaving behind purchasing in favour of streaming they have to download an app on their new iOS device before they can listen to music. Apple would rather the music experience be built-in.

More streaming vs purchasing mp3s doesn't mean people will be using headphones less.

It might be hard for someone with an autism-spectrum order to understand, but normals really love music. It's part of being a human being.

So yes, Music is extremely important. For anyone.

please ...
