Is nobody else going to mention the irony that we're talking about "sexual assault", when the track she removed is literally called "Do What U Want (With My Body)"?
No, because actually, she addressed it herself in the f'cking article:
"As a victim of sexual assault myself, I made both the song and video at a dark time in my life, my intention was to create something extremely defiant and provocative because I still hand't processed the trauma that had occurred in my own life," she said.

Hollywood, the media, pop-culture, etc. are pretty much a walking contradiction when it comes to this stuff. Kind of 'do as I say, not as I do and/or promote doing'.
Subscription services leave availability up to the vendor, as you say. We were watching a series on Netflix a while ago, and midway through season 3, it disappeared as licensing expired.
That's what you get for wanting access to millions of dollars' worth of content for next to nothing, as opposed to building a library.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I did before Apple ruined iTunes family sharing, to force us into subscribing to Apple Music. Now, it's just one huge mess. If I find another great app so I can have a central 'server' of all our content shared across devices, I'll dump Apple Music and go back to my library. I just haven't found such good solutions, yet, and don't have time right now to experiment.
iTunes Match works and still exists outside of Apple Music. I use ITunes Match and Google Music as backups for my personal music collection which is over 15k songs. You can also choose to search only your music in the cloud within the Apple Music app if you are a Match subscriber.
Also if tracks are missing it may be that the songs owner or label did not ok it to be streamed. I have noticed this mostly with soundtracks in my personal experience
This discussion thread also gives reasons or possible fixes for greyed out songs.

Yeah, I guess that would save some money... but it kind of sucks that I'd have to pay for what I used to have before Apple took it away. At this point, I probably just need to rebuild my library anyway... so it's more a matter of deciding if I want to stick with an Apple solution anymore. (I've been thinking about Plex, but haven't had time to check into it enough.)
