Yes Mark, it is not, which I guess is the primary reason not for me to splurge on the home pod. I was merely commenting about music streaming services and the pros and cons of one from another. I use apple music but I also use spotify for all the reasons you mentioned before, with the biggest being the ability to delete radio stations you have created. As a student, I have both apple music and spotify for 4:99, so it works out nicely.
