Bad UI. Seriously. It actually had some great features that Spotify didn't like integration of local files. But honestly the UI was just so bad that it made it not worth my time. Since the majority of my listening is done in my car, I want to quickly queue up an album or playlist at the start of my commute. I want playlists to be easy to manage etc. This just wasnt't the case. Searching for an artist would first search YOUR LIBRARY, and then give you an option to search the streaming library. Dumb.
That was a while ago though. I'd potentially switch to Amazon's streaming service if the UI was better. I really have no allegiance or anything. Although Sev and me pretty much always overlap interests but then have the exact opposite opinion. And fittingly, I want nothing to do with Apple.

Amazon has exclusively bad UI. I said fuck it to everything except for the app on my iPhone 7. And sometimes my Kindle Paperwhite. Everything else, including the streaming music platform, which I only got into so I coups immediately download the new Thurston album when I bought it instead of having to wait for it to arrive in the mail, is shit.
Amazon is shit. Apple puts out better hardware because they excel at it, place a strong focus on it. Google makes better user platforms because, again, they excel at that one thing. Amazon is like Wal-Mart trying to open up its own bookstore. It's shit and always will be shit.
