Both did largely solve the convenience issue.

Spotify is good enough for most people even if audio quality is mediocre and there is missing music. Most people do not care about obscure music or about audio quality.

Netflix also solved the issue (it used to have most stuff people cared about) and then it got unsolved. Indeed, with all of the competing streaming services with their own exclusives, the situation is worse than ever. This is why movie piracy is on the rise. With all of the exclusives it no longer is convenient. People do not care which corp owns which franchise. They just want to press play and watch. The fact that the industry truly does not understand user convenience and managed to mess up movie and tv streaming after it was solved, is just sad.
