I believe it is very related, either as the cause or the effect.

Just an excuse to bring it over the finish line what some at management wanted to do but had no justification to begin it.

It is also possible that Anna's Archive moved through with their project because someone learnt about Spotify plans in advance.

I doubt it Anna’s Archive has bountys for scraping like this on loads of stuff.

I believe they have a 1 million USD bounty for scraping google books.
