Launch options: Why can't we start in discover instead of overview?

Is there a way of making Spotify start on the Discover tab? I feel like I might blow my brains out if I have to keep seeing the garbage playlists that are featured in the "Overview" tab. It feels really dirty being subjected to that stuff.
