Because AirPlay 2 support is a good thing.
Sonos became the first third-party company to add AirPlay 2 support to its speakers. The update is available for newer Sonos products and the company has stated that its AirPlay 2 compatibility update is available for the Sonos One, Beam, Playbase, and the second generation Play:5.
You can use AirPlay 2 with older Sonos products if you group them with newer speakers.
Sonos had confirmed earlier this year AirPlay 2 support was in the works, and later said it would come in July.
Sonos even lets you use Amazon Alexa to control AirPlay 2, in a manner of speaking. After you start streaming music with Siri voice commands, you can use your Alexa-compatible device—like an Echo or Sonos speaker—to adjust the volume or skip to the next song.
AirPlay 2 support for Sonos can be installed via a software update on the Sonos Controller app for your iOS device.
