Not true.

For similar - see Android Auto / Apple Carplay, where Android can use any music/map service, but the Apple version is limited to theirs.

I have my issues with Google but they're like night and day when it comes to interoperability.

Spotify is on CarPlay https://support.spotify.com/us/listen_everywhere/in_the_car/...

The thing Apple limits music-wise is Siri. You can't use voice control to tell Spotify what tracks to play.

I don't follow. I use Spotify's native app on CarPlay.

He's referring to Maps/Google Maps. You can't use Google Maps on CarPlay
