Good digging. Thanks for this.

It's unfortunate that Rogan thinks groveling will get him anywhere. Of all people, he seemed to be aware that path was not productive. He cannot "unoffend" the offended, and his attempts play right into their hands. We'll see how it plays out.

I would imagine Rogan is under a considerable amount of pressure from Spotify. They invested a ton of money in him, and he is potentially looking like a liability rather than an asset to them at this point. Something about this just has the scent of Spotify damage control on it to me.

They need him more than he needs them. He has millions of fans. They will go to whichever platform is hosting his podcasts.
