I don't really understand what you mean - yes, it is designed for Apple Music, a tab for browsing for new music, etc.
But it still has library views for songs, albums, artists, and playlists. That's the whole thing. Additional tabs to support modern music streaming don't devalue those tabs.
On the phone it always defaults to searching the online store/music, instead of the local songs.
The Mac app version is less annoying in that way as it seems to vaguely remember what you were looking at.
