Hehehe. Apple only markets what they believe we want after all. Of
course they are one step ahead of us and let us think its our idea.
That said, as long as we have choices its ok. If I was on the move a
lot I could see using Match. Or if I only cared about new music, then
Apple Music might work.
I do want to watch those subscriptions. They could easily add up.
There are two I will explore. Qello and Netflix
I don't think 'resistance is futile' applies to me any more for I
have been assimilated.

Well, with iCloud Match or Apple Music Library, I was thinking that since one
feature is to show you an online library, you could take advantage of Home
Sharing when you’re home, but iCloud when away or when you need to download
some tracks. Of course, syncing is a pain, and of course the cloud is where
Apple wants you to go. And hey, if you have the bandwidth, and if you make
changes infrequently enough that you won’t notice the synchronisation, why not?
I’d prefer not to have to depend on Apple for that, but I’ll concede that
they’ve got me here; it’s hard to deny the convenience of having access,
magically, to all my stuff even when iTunes isn’t running. Even if, honestly,
I’d prefer Apple make a media server available whereby iOS could download and
not just stream, and preferably where iTunes did not have to be running, and
better yet that it work on commodity hardware, this is still a workable
compromise.
I don’t need bespoke music streaming though. Only Match. Match is billed
annually. If I wanted streaming, it’s Apple Music, and I wouldn’t get Match
too because I always keep my music in my primary library without DRM. If you
want to stream the latest mind-numbing tripe without actually having to buy it,
though, you’ll want Apple Music. :)
HTH.
