Pinned music is in iOS 26 is a great idea, but why does it only work if I sync my music library?

https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/09/apple-music-just-added-my-most-wished-for-feature-in-ios-26/ I would love to be able to pin my favorite playlists to the top of my library, but I don’t sync my library, and I should still be able to use the feature! I tried music syncing when it first came out and thankfully I had most of my library well backed up because it literally ruined it! It put wrong artwork in files and mislabeled music and basically ruined my whole library. And I have a ton of music not available on the App Store, live tracks and the like that I listen to constantly. I still get 1 Tb phone to fit all my music (heck I would love 2 TB’s but I don’t want an iPhone Max).
