There is no way to spin Spotify as a customer first company with shenanigans like this. It’s my data and I should be able to do anything I want with it. I’m happy to pay for superior product experience but not for them to hold my playlist data hostage.

I use songshift so I can copy my Spotify playlist to Apple Music...just so I can listen to music offline on my Apple Watch. How is it reasonable to have to pay for 2 music services just because interoperability sucks. Spotify and Apple are in this tug of war and it makes them both worse companies for their users.

Spotify has the API available to them, and could make a watch app, but chooses not to. So it seems like Spotify is to blame for both of your frustrations.
