Deezer connect design flaw

Deezer connect, in my opinion has a design flaw, namely that it needs a logged in user at the side where you connect to. This would mean that on any device you want to play your music on, for example an amplifier , a wireless speaker , any other music server (like pc or dedicated applications like moode audio)  

A better way would be that it sends its right to play deezer streams via the client.

This means that anyone in my house can play his music via my amplifer or speakers , family friends and people who are in my household.  The only thing they need is a valid deezer account and app on their phone- 

This is the way spotify connect works too and makes for way easier implementation 

 

With deezer connect this is now only possible if i log them in to the device they want to connect to. this makes it little practical.

really ?   I just made the step to go from spotify to deezer and one of the things that where important was to be able to eazy play music on other media then my phone or windows pc

With deezer connect that was possible withouth loosing a lot of functionality like for example the implementation in heos where is is difficult to change your flow preference and even more difficult to mark songs from flow as dont run this artist anymore or song.

Now you take functuionality away that was not perfect but at least it was there? 

Is this the startup to going further and further bacj in functionality ?  like is the heos rfucntioanlity going away also ?   Its a way to drive me back to spotify fast or look for other options to get better quality mucic like flac from oter providers.
