That's because they want you to pay a subscription fee for YouTube music.

For the Pandora app, they don't want you using it if you don't give them permission to do whatever it is they want to do.

It is malicious. It's often incompetence too, but it's also malicious.

Even if they benefit from me using YT Music, they make no sales pitch at any point leading up to me seeing the button is gone and leaving the platform. They are just missing out on tons of ad revenue from users that otherwise would have stayed and listened for hours.

And Pandora also assuredly did not design their app to crash.
