IIRC this is because Spotify wants to generate translations for these audiobooks in the original voices. At least, that's what I think I remember from a long time ago.
So why didn't they say "derivative works with content of equal sentence-level, character-level, name, and story-level meaning". I think it's gonna be used for something more than that. They want to update content to fit the woke agenda, and people will frame it as good.
Sometimes it's just because the lawyers who wrote TOS grab as much leeway as they can, even if it's just to make a translation.
