I get your point but it really depends on the audience you're looking at. Personally, I use Spotify a lot to listen to any new artist I can find and check their stuff out without crawling a) youtube or b) buying their records in advance. If I stumble upon some stuff that I'm really into, I look if there are any vinyls available. (Bonus step c): you're two months late to the vinyl release and the discocks are already hoarding all copies, smh.)
The point you've made kinda boils down to the question if music is a hobby or a commodity for said person. The "problem" I'm seeing is that music is more of a commodity to many people that just listen to stuff for the sake of listening to it. That's just a product of changing times and the relation between people and music and the distributors inbetween reflects that. Of course this is frustrating for the load of talented artists that just niche audiences care about.
