Google Play Music was shut down in December 2020 with users migrated to YouTube Music, and the row exists to make the shutdown risk legible: libraries, purchases and playlists built over a decade depended on a migration path Google designed and a window Google chose, and anything not transferred was gone. Nothing in a consumer agreement obliges a service to continue existing, provide usable export, or preserve purchases. Cross-ref the Skype row in Productivity & Comms Apps - same finding, different decade.
