Why not? People are generally always online these days and there is a lot of music out there, plenty to fill a phone many times over. Granted you might only have a few hours worth of tracks at any time but there is obviously at least one person (OP) who doesn’t.
Not to mention the way they manage their library sounds incredibly desktop oriented. This removes the need to plugin the phone.
And then like Plex/jellyfin, or audiobookshelf, sounds like this let’s you have a shared library across devices or people, even better!

This ain’t fitting on a phone chief
Really though, I did use Vanilla Music on my android for playback and copied over just the stuff I generally listen to, though even that in flac was already ~50gb, which already requires me to upgrade to 128gb storage just to have some space left for photos and a game or two, and whenever I add something on my server, I need to add it to my phone as well, which definitely got annoying over time, and actually stopped me from getting some new albums because of this (stupid, I know, but still)
I’m fully aware for most people this is not really relevant, and in that case there are many alternatives that should work much better for you!

50GB of flac = maybe 20GB of Vorbis amirite? Is that 450GB of flac in your screen shot? It would fit on a 256gb phone even without an SD card. A 512GB card is quite affordable these days. Just make sure to buy a phone with a slot, and think of it as next level degoogling ;).
Yeah I know there’s lots of music in the world but who wants to listen to all of it on a moment’s notice anyway?
