Siri has an API: https://developer.apple.com/sirikit/

Not sure why Spotify isn't using it.

SiriKit only supports a limited number of domains and intents, of which playing music is not one of them.

Siri has an "API". A very limited set of things it can do.

It's basically a hard coded list of events that get triggered if someone says a particular phrase.

Spotify's use case isn't supported.
