You'll find that these professions have a vested interest in maintaining network effects, and as such will view Mast/Blue as threats to their networking infrastructure. They don't want to dilute the importance of the platform their patronage systems rely on (let alone destroy it) - in fact its centrality is why they leverage it to advance their careers. Artists I can see understanding platform agnosticism to some extent, but for the other two groups, it's simply not in their DNA. The gatekeeping is a feature for them.
'The medium is the message' as a Canadian theorist once said.
Lots of banned artist and album names that will return zero results, unless you do something like search for a song or two that's on the album you want and finding the data that way.
The only objectionable hurdles are the insurmountable ones
Last Christmas I gave a family member a flash drive containing ~10 high quality movie encodes, basically a shortlist of the year's personal highlights I think they'd enjoy too. I don't know if they've used it, but I'm going to make a habit of it until I hear otherwise. A drive for a handful movies is cheap enough to not worry about if it's never seen again.

Look everyone, it's the season 37 opener of I'm not going to use the great tool because people I don't like are also using the great tool!
Australia tried this in the early noughties I believe - running a non-public URL blacklist. After some parliamentary accountability and commmitees got it cracked open, they found that about 10% of the sites met the definition for inclusion, with the remainder being a grab-bag of things various politicians and bureaucrats didn't like.
Private torrent content escapes naturally because it's often shared on other P2P tools in use by the peers.
Who gives a fuck? Corporate social media cater to idiots too, just more common varieties.
Why does it matter what Kanye tweets about if I enjoy his music? Why do the politics of my favorite FOSS program's maintainer matter, or what commentary they include in documentation, or the presence/lack of a flag in a social media handle? Why does it matter that a public demonstration I'm at has some fellow demonstraters whose lifestyles/politics I find abhorrent?
All you advertise to the world with this fearful mindset is that your behaviour will change on a dime given the slightest chance of bad optics. It's a rotten way to live life.
Governments and marketers absolutely love people who think like that.
