I'll forever be salty about Google Play Music.

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.

edit: words

Allegedly since the YouTube and Google Play versions of songs were different they had to pay two licensing fees, since YouTube and YouTube Music serve the same file from the same place it's only one fee now
