My iPhone 9 will connect via Bluetooth, to My JBL extreme, JBL charge 5, and basically all other JBL speakers but the music will only play through the iPhone 9, not the connected speaker. Spotify, Amazon prime music, iTunes, all have the same issue

Hello tastylighting,
To help troubleshoot, ensure the Bluetooth speaker is selected as the sound playback destination in Control Center on your iPhone. Although the accessory may be connected via Bluetooth, it's possible the iPhone is selected for the sound playback destination. Check out how to change the output here: Set up and use Bluetooth accessories on iPhone - Apple Support
"Play audio from iPhone on a Bluetooth audio device
, then choose your Bluetooth device.The playback destination returns to iPhone if you move the device out of Bluetooth range."
If the playback destination is set correctly, then wireless interference could be causing Bluetooth connection issues. Check out how to troubleshoot wireless interference here:

Let us know if that helps.
Kind regards.
