I'm glad, and I don't want to make you stop being happy. Happiness is more important than technology fads of the week.
That said, I'm no longer using Spotify, and disappearing songs had a lot to do with it. I've been paying for a premium account for some 6-7 years, way longer than I should - it took me over a year to notice that I'm not actually using it, because half of my favorite songs are gone, and whenever I search for something particular, half of the time it's not there (or worse, there's some shitty cover of it). And it's not just the catalog that suffered since - also the UI of their mobile app rotten over time, and became incomprehensive.
But back in ~2012 - 2015 I sure as hell was happy with their service, and evangelized it to all my friends, and I did feel it's worth more than what I'm paying for it.
I guess losing music on Spotify isn't that big of a deal for most people, because - extrapolating music-related behavior from a couple dozen non-tech people I've observed over the years - the most popular music player isn't Spotify, it's YouTube. And YouTube does have it all, at least for now.
