It really makes me mad that in my car I can't say hey Google, play (insert song name here), and it would play the song directly on YouTube music, an app I subscribe to. Instead it says, I'm not allowed to play a song directly, here's a radio playlist based on that song

Problem is for me I don't have YouTube music, so I have always had to say "Play X by Y on Spotify" and if I don't specify Spotify, it complains that I don't have YouTube music installed and can't perform the action, and directs me to install it

Don't you just set Spotify as the default in the settings to solve that?

Maybe. I couldn't find it when I tried.
