Out of curiosity, how would one even get the 250k monthly active users on a new app if they don't allow access to the API?
You've rather editorialized the title Unable to create app

The majority of developers are unable to make apps, its not editorialized at all.
This was actually true long ago, Spotify won't grant you access without 250k of DAU. Clear message from them: develop elsewhere youre not worth our time
"We'd like to say that the teams are currently investigating this and new integrations are currently on hold while we make updates to improve reliability and performance. As soon as we've got any other news to share, we'll let you know."
It has now been over a month since app creation has been completely disabled. Because of previous Spotify API changes requiring 250k MAU to publish an app, there are 100s of Spotify integrations that rely on users providing their own API key. I first came across this when trying to integrate my new Stream Deck into Spotify.
With Spotify's continued pattern of degrading their API, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the final nail in the coffin.
