I think it's cool people are making custom clients. I actually am working on my own client: WaveeMusic (https://github.com/christosk92/WaveeMusic). I decided not to base it on librespot because it still talks to Spotify's old AP audiokey channel. Official clients don't use that path anymore, it already refuses accounts created after ~2023, and Spotify can turn it off whenever they want.

I decided to use the new PlayPlay instead, the DRM path the official apps actually use. That also gets you music videos, and lossless / FLAC (still working on the decode). Also the app is more focused on the native Win11 niche for the folks who like those type of UIs.
