Apple Music Feature Request: Stream AC4-IMS audio tracks instead of DD+JOC to Android smartphones.

Apple Music currently streams Atmos audio encoded in DD+JOC format to Android smartphones. Per the spec, DD+JOC cannot include binaural render mode metadata, so when an end user connects headphones to an Android smartphone and listens to an Atmos sound source with DD+JOC decoded in binaural form, the mix engineer's intent for the binaural mix is ​​imperfectly conveyed. In addition, AC4-IMS has 50% better compression efficiency than DD+JOC. (Source : https://professional.dolby.com/siteassets/technologies/dolbt_atmos_ac-4_whitepaper.pdf) For these reasons, I hope that Apple Music will provide audio encoded in AC4-IMS format when providing Atmos music to Android smartphones. Thank you.
