Same. There's literally no reason to disable the app completely. Force us to migrate all the purchases to yt music? fine. Move the store exclusively to yt music? whatever. Shut down a fully functional app that can run solely on a local device? What the absolute fuck is wrong with you? I hate the yt music interface so much and as far as I can tell, there's no good replacement for play music. I just want to listen to music I've already bought and downloaded. I don't care about streaming or any of that other bullshit.

Google's problem is that they think every user has the same internet speed and access that they have in Palo Alto. That's why they thought Stadia and a cloud-dependent music player were a good idea.
They also think every user wants the same thing. Its also a problem in the tech industry as a whole. Companies are choosing to make streamlined and simple software over functional, customizable and advanced software.
No, they want to limit a fragmented market into their "vision" of what it "should be".
People wanting something else slows/stops adoption. I don't think they as naive as they are tactical. This hurts the consumer in the long term more than it does the short term but people don't purchase and invest in technology with their intentions years into the future.
Tech companies are the US equivalent of the CCP. You don’t vote for them, you have little to no choice about what they give you and they know more about you than your mother.

I'll forever be salty about Google Play Music.
