Add Radio Station to Playlist in Apple Music App

Apple seems to be aggressively steering users toward picking from the radio stations they feature by not making it easy to add radio stations to a playlist -- or any kind of bookmark list. I simply want to make a list of radio stations I regularly want to listen to. Am I being dense, or is this hard or near-impossible to do? Please help me out here. And, Apple, make this easy to do. It's like putting presets on your old car radio -- something people want to do!

So, here's what one must do in order to add a radio station to a playlist:

) go to a search engine and find a URL to stream the music (also not alway easy to do, since everyone wants to control your listening these days with an 'app' or a subscription)

) copy it so you can paste it later

) go back to the Apple(TM) music app

) select File -> Open Stream URL

) paste in your link and listen to the station

) select the three dots next to the right of the station name at top (only visible if you hover over the box)

) then, then you will see an option to add the station to a playlist

NOTE: if you find the station via the Apple Music App, there will be three dots that appear when you hover -- but no option to add it to a playlist? Why? T.C.'s minions are trying to control what you listen to, so as to increase their Apple's profit margins! Correct me if I'm wrong, Apple, Inc.
