Glad to see this sentiment expressed. I got extremely tired of the stream-ification of everything on the web, and how something as simple as getting music playing has turned into an involved process with too much of my own data forfeit.

My solution is a small, self hosted PWA that simply has a list of a few dozen of my favorite internet radio stations. Loads quickly, no sign in or subscription, no add, just music. In the past month I have hardly even opened Spotify!
