As an example, Bach has approx. 6 million listeners monthly on Spotify. Who gets those royalties? Are they profit for streaming services? Donated? Given to a trust?

Copyright laws vary in different countries.
The most common is: 70 years after the death of the composer the copyright of the creations enters public domain.
The copyright for recordings or sheet music is under different regulations.

By the way… only people with millions of klicks on streaming platforms like Spotify is make any kind of money of that.
Spotify is equivalent to sweatshops in music.
