Anyone know why? Seems kind of silly.

Hello BBallLAL,
you can't expect a profound answer on a quite vague question. All that can be said is that either Spotify has some characteristics which match a new or updated detection item or some new characteristics of Spotify (in case it was it that has been updated) match an existing detection item.
You shouldn't deride Suspicious Behavior and File detection - as you can see there are quite a few of them and they are rather specific - more than once it has helped to spot new threats or variants (and in many cases prevented "successful" infection even though some malicious parts could not yet been detected).
Please look up the threat's description - the Summary has instructions on how to deal with it. If a "popular" application or an old file is flagged I usually send in a sample. Most of the time updated detection items have been issued and the files were (and are) no longer flagged.
