I'm sure they'd have the same rule on Mac OS if they designed it today. As much as I hope this is fixed, this is Apple, the company that won’t allow “duplicate functionality” in iPhone apps.

There's actually a similar bug with a great media center app called Plex, which makes use of the Apple remote and any clicks on that currently launch front row and itunes etc. Would imagine devs at Spotify and Plex will get fixes out for Snow Leopard (but it would probably be easier if Apple were more transparent about these kinds of changes!).
