Really have to praise these fckers for not announcing to we the subscribers of their additions (did you know Akame ga Kill is also back on the platform?) and departures (like 86) on their catalog.

I'd like to personally thank Crunchyroll for refusing to subtitle the songs that the characters sing for the Zombieland Saga movie. I was worried I'd be getting an experience that would be sullied by my ability to understand what a native speaker would be hearing, but thankfully the geniuses on their translator team understood how important it is for words not to have meaning, especially in a story about idol singers.

Those decisions are not up to Crunchyroll but it's down to getting approval from the Japanese licensors to subtitle the songs so if they didn't sub the songs it's because they didn't get approval to do so and were not sent official lyrics by the licensors.

I so wish they would add the Fairy Tail OVAs soon to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Fairy Tail manga

That and Crunchyroll doesn't generally dub songs. There have been a few exceptions lately, but one difference that occurred after Funimation disappeared is that dubbing songs became the exception.
Gong from Funimation commentary tracks (another thing that fell off with the merger) dubbing songs was quite a bit of work since translating also meant finding lyrics that not only fit the words of the original, but also the song performance. The main source of this choice is that it is cheaper, and not some special reverence for the original.
