It's a game dev platform where you can also play games. Most games that are of quality levels to bother with audio consistently that don't have custom music currently are using that royalty-free music. There is a wide selection so that there are options for people who cannot afford to commission a custom soundtrack for their game. Roblox is not somewhere in which you need to upload music that isn't even yours. You've YouTube and Spotify for that.

I honestly feel it's exhausting when players feel entitled to violating the law (copyright) just so they can listen to music on Roblox when they got it from YouTube and such in the first place. Enjoy the games...you don't have to worry about the audio if you don't want to. If you want the royalty-free music gone, you can have a mostly boring Roblox, as many developers will not have access to using any of the music in the games, and therefore won't have music. Except for those who have the funds to commission a soundtrack.

Besides...if you don't hear it, why are you bothered by it? I agree with you now on the game dev thing, but I'll explain an example with the audio thing.

There's this game on Roblox called JAWS by iKingOfAllKings, and it used to have the JAWS theme as the music.

But then the music got removed and it was replaced by a god-awful "royalty-free" song that sounds like it belongs in YouTube Kids Cartoons, not Roblox.

That's one problem with the audio "update", and copyright in general.
