Those features aren't tied to version numbers, since it is now possible to make changes to an application without having to re-release, modern app stores eh? 

I'm yet to see anyone with it, but that being said the most recent playlist view was added and then quickly removed so maybe with feedback they get from the slow release (such as useage information) they have decided to pause and make some changes before rolling it out to the rest of the userbase. 

It is actually a good example:

- New playlist view rolled out to everyone immediately, withdrawn within hours due to public outcry about the missing shuffle button.

- New now playing screen (although don't quote me on this one), rolled out to a small % of users, the dev team realise they have made a mistake or it doesn't work correctly, then they have time to fix and re-release. No public outcry!

I wonder how many of us Spotify friends will go with Google just because this app ofers an equalizer?
What's up with Spotify managers? Those who pay for use Spotify on mobile and in particular on iOS devices. Here the equalizer feature is mandatory. The funny thing is: it was there, the hidden equalizer. But they have killed it. If I where the investor I would fire the product manager.
