Why are so many songs which are available on Spotify, region restricted on Apple Music?

I switched from Spotify Premium to Apple Music because I thought at that time that it would have a larger library of songs and less region restricted content. Now that I have switched, I see that more and more songs are region restricted on Apple Music than they are on Spotify. The surprising part is that the songs which are region restricted on Apple are available on Spotify and even regional apps like JioSaavn and Gaana. If this goes on, I probably will port back to Spotify, but before that I thought I should at least get to know the reason behind this bizarre situation.

You will have to ask Apple if they are prepared to explain their music licensing agreements with you. If you still have questions or problems:

Refer to this document for ways to contact Apple --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

or:

Contact Apple for support and service by telephone --> Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support
