Last time I checked SiriusXM had the worst sound quality compared to the competition.

It’s over-compressed for sure…but FM commercials suck. Bluetooth streaming is also compressed and doesn’t sound spectacular either. Aux cable can sound better than BT, but requires you to use your phone to control the music. Don’t get me wrong, I have Spotify Premium also, and love it. But that uses data, which isn’t free, and requires me to pick up my phone and fumble through menus while I’m driving if I want to change the style of music. With Sirius, I just push a preset on my dash without taking my eyes off the road.
Every cost has value to someone.

If you fumble through menus while you are driving you are a danger to everyone. Pull over to the side of the road!

Yeah, that was my point. The Sirius built-in to my car radio is my preferred music source and one of the reasons is that it’s less dangerous to operate.
