I don't think it's subjective. Royalties aren't paid equally, and considering Spotify is partly owned by the record labels themselves, it makes sense to steer listeners.

I agree, I feel like Pandora recommendations are far better than Spotify ones, at least for me. Spotify keeps me in my bubble, Pandora is constantly expanding it.

It is tiny - It's US only.

Pandora is also way more trainable. You can train that recommender with your thumbs up/down, and it's been like that for 15 years.

I haven't tried Pandora lately but Spotify is horrible for suggestions. My goto remains BBC 6 Radio Music.
