Does Bose even support the SoundTouch system/app and speakers any more?

just received this email from Bose. i have several soundtouch speakers plus the soundtouch 300 soundbar and im so mad i wont be able to link them / use spotify anymore. im floored right now. anyone else get this?
The Soundtouch app on my Win 11 machines are opening a debug log window which shows all the discovery process for all the Soundtouch speakers on my local LAN. Not a big issue, actually it's pretty interesting to see all the network back-and-forth as it compiles the information it needs. (I think it's actually logging the activity of the helper app) This is a mild irritant as It's no effort to just X the window to get rid of it.
While I'm griping (sorry!) it's pretty irritating when I leave the Soundtouch app up and running and leave it for a while. After a time of inactivity (I guess when the system goes into sleep mode) the app is still there but totally unresponsive and I have to kill/restart it and again all is well. Most other apps can just keep working with no bounce, but the Soundtouch always is needing restart.
Griping aside, I really like the Bose Soundtouch platform with speakers in every room which sound terrific with all playing in sync. Great stuff!
I've gotta say...I've invested over $2500 in these speakers over the past 5 or 6 years, and it's been nothing but issues with these things. The only viable alternative is Sonos and they're equally bad for other reasons (business model BS). I wish this Soundtouch system was more reliable. Their phone apps are horrible, their netcode is atrocious. Now, the most recent problem I have is that SiriusXM is giving me a "Hmm...We can't play that right now. Please try again later. (3103) error". This is in the Android app, but also occurs on my companion's phone (Apple). Our SiriusXM subscription is valid. I can stream the service on other platforms. I can use iHeartRadio via the SoundTouch app, I can stream TuneIn without issues, and I can even stream Spotify!!
But SiriusXM will not work...POS system!!
