This is hilariously bad with music. Like I can type in the most basic thing like "string instruments" which should theoretically be super easy to isolate. You can generally one-shot this using spectral analysis libraries. And it just totally fails.

I had the same experience. It did okay at isolating vocals but everything else it failed or half-succeeded at.

what in theory makes those "super easy" to isolate? Humans are terrible at this to begin with, it takes years to train one of them to do it mildly well. Computers are even worse - blind source separation and the cocktail party problem have been the white whale of audio DSP for decades (and only very recently did tools become passable).
