Not everyone is using Apple Music (or its competition).
Even for those who are using a music platform, this project still has its unique algorithm that’s likely to surface distinct results. Partly because the developer can do their own innovation and partly because the platforms influence the algorithm in ways that aren’t necessarily aligned with users’ interests. e.g. promoting artists they have favorable relationships with.
The developer can also offer features that Apple et al aren’t offering, perhaps because it would complicate their app too much or isn’t high priority, but makes sense for a specialized tool like this. e.g. fine grained settings to filter and sort results.
