Just the way it is I'm afraid. One just has to decide if access to a massive archive of music at CD quality is worth it. I was initially troubled by this.

If I had to build my library again at retail price, it would be unaffordable in one go.
I think that it's a bargain, especially if your young and wish to delve into the Rock archive.

It's all there, instantly.
Try hunting some of this music down.

Personally, I like owning my current physical library. It's mine and if the net goes down I can still play it. But I love the ability to dig out archive material I don't own almost instantly.

The trouble is, I then want to track it down and own it.
For new albums, it's great to be able to listen on release. Also it's great to try music suggested by others without extra outlay.

I know you can do this free on Spotify but I want the sound quality. Musicians do need paying as well.
