... each channel plays the same 50-ish songs in rotation for very long periods ...
That's incorrect, and you're not even close. There's lots of discussion on this over on xmfan.com by people who actually listen to Sirius/XM.

Even the deepest radio playlists pale next to a decent LP collection, though.  It's for that reason that I can say, yea, I still love listening to classic rock.

I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning of XM. You are mistaken. If you did listen to SiriusXM, you’d know what I’m telling you is there truth
You are completely mistaken to state:
... each channel plays the same 50-ish songs in rotation for very long periods ...
I have an XM sub, but wouldn’t need it to know how wrong you are. If you were correct, the decades channels would be repeating content less than every three hours, which of course they don’t. There’s lots of discussion on SiriusXM playlists on xmfan, and you can track the actual playlists on dogstar. (Some of the playlists are also curated on xmfan. For example, the Deep Tracks playlist is here and was updated last month.)

Just to be clear, I wish the typical SiriusXM channel had a much deeper playlist. But to claim that they are as short as 50 songs is just absurd.

FM is dead
Sorry, but that's not even remotely true. AM-FM radio reaches more than 90 percent of the US population.

"... more Americans tune to AM/FM radio than any other platform."

Details are here.
