Either that or he is using a non-supported VPN solution.
Hehe… PlexAmp, Audirvana and Sonos are on the second screen. A man needs to keep himself educated.
Then again, it’s less about what one has than what one uses…

Did you have use of JPlay without a subscription 
If so, do not update the app, they fixed the loophole
Sub runs until the end of this year or so, but is set to not renew. I’m not that interested in loopholes.
I reactive Audirvana every now and then for a month to check out what’s new, but so far it never convinced me not to cancel. I use HQ Player sparingly, but have made the upgrades so far (3-4-5).
But yes, I use Spotify more often than I’d care to admit (listening to a quite excellent Release Radar this friday evening), with Roon reserved for late night solo listening.

I never quit using Spotify in the car, Arc in my opinion has worse user experience and Roon has overall very low reliability
I use Tidal and Qobuz for streaming through Roon. However, Tidal is my go-to for mobile. Tidal works on iPhone, iPad, and is in-built to the Tesla dashboard. It also works natively in the Android ecosystem. Tidal works via CarPlay in my wife’s VW.
My in-home audio system supports Tidal Connect, during times that Roon has connectivity issues for Tidal. In that case, the Tidal app on any of our i-devices serve as “tuners” for the native Tidal implementation in the integrated home audio system. This is a common setup for devices that are “Roon Ready” to support also Tidal Connect.
Tidal allowed me to extract my audio collection from Apple and gain higher playback quality and a better streaming payback deal for artists. For me, it’s a separation-of-concerns thing. Leave OS to Apple; acquire music and streaming content from others.
I had always been a Spotify user for 15 year until I purchased hiend home system 3 years ago. Purchased Tidal, Qobuz and Roon to get best quality sound possible as Spotify falls way short for home system. Gave up trying to use Tidal in car as it stops streaming mid way through all songs. Tried using Arc and also gave up trying to figure out how to use and see all my playlists for cellular connected mode only. Now I use transfer software to export from Roon into Spotify. I do not like doing this. I’m still holding out for Spotify to release premium version. I will say on an IPad that the Roon layout is far superior to any other streaming app, so unless Spotify changes to mirror Roon layout I will likely stay with Roon for home use and export to Spotify for car use.
