>What I object to is why this is the only way apps are allowed to take payment. Why can't they take card payments themselves, without having to go via Apple?

That's a pretty obvious answer, no? because apps would be full of these attempts to charge customers and apple would still need to make standards about how it would have to work.

>No, I understand the issue. It's been around since long before Spotify's PR campaign. Just because I don't share the same viewpoint as you, it does not mean I 'misunderstand' the issue.

It's not because you disagreed, it's because you genuinely seemed confused as to whether or not you can use a credit card, debit card, or paypal to pay for spotify premium in the app, which you can do.
