Comment on Apple ordered by EU regulators to open up to rivals.

Although some third-party music services can stream directly from Apple’s HomePod, many major streamers, including Spotify, never adopted the necessary API. Instead, users have to use AirPlay to play songs from Spotify — though, a workaround in iOS 17 made this process a little easier by allowing users to ask Siri to start an AirPlay session.

Yeah but that still makes no sense.
I have Spotify and lost that easy volume control capability when this issue first surfaced. However I have never used a HomePod. Something changed and it has nothing to do with my non-existent HomePod

Am only replying to you talking about some unrelated to the issue at hand. That is what they trying to say. Apple removes a feature that we all used, and only mad it only available for apple products.
