I get it. I just have an entirely different workflow because my wife rewatches things, i share it with friends, and i have a moral obligation to share it with strangers.
Want to watch something > find magnet > categorize as movie or show > wait a while > watch thing > seed indefinitely for others to download as well

Its that final step youre missing out on that brings me great socialist joy and finalizes the “owning” portion of the equation. I fundamentally disagree with streaming, paid or otherwise, because that final step where i get to share it with whomever i please.
If i bought a video game in 1999, every kid on my block had access. If i bought a vhs, same thing. Nowadays, if i spend money on a movie or tv show, only i get to watch it. Music is inherently different and video games are a bit easier to share via my steam family, but you get the idea.
