If you expand out each of the Key FeaturesI stand corrected then 5x over! This is how I read their poor marketing page for Ford Streaming, where they mention the word YouTube *zero* times.
Still not sure it's worth $10/mo though, as it sounds like this only enables data for those apps on your screen and nothing else.
There really are quite a few additional features that don't involve granting internet access to the internal sync apps.
The other thing it does is enhance Alexa's abilities.
You can stream any song available on Amazon or Spotify, without having an Amazon Music or Spotify subscription. You also get access to any podcasts or audiobooks hosted by Amazon, again without having to pay for the Amazon subscription for those services.
It also enables more Alexa skills like games. I know on a recent road trip we got tired of music and asked Alexa to play a game. It kept us all distracted enough that the last hour of the drive flew by.
And I think your confusion stems from misreading this part that you quoted:
I think you missed the "or".
There is also some value in the streaming just working. Not having to dig through menus to first connect to some wi-fi. You just start using YouTube.
