Why can my computer play multiple audios at the same time but my phone can’t?

Question

My PC can play a bunch of audios at once, like multiple youtube videos, Spotify, a DVD etc. But why can’t my phone play, for example, Spotify at the same time as I’m watching a video. I understand why multiple tabs can’t play music at the same time but what about different apps?

Thanks yall

As others have said, your phone can do it, it’s just programmed not to. There are multiple apps for Android that can get around this, such as sound assistant. They probably exist for Apple too, I’m just not familiar with that OS.
