That's why streaming is the new cable TV.

I think streaming is fine - if a show is removed or the service dies you haven't lost content because you never owned any in the first place and never expected to.

I really don't know why anyone buys from the likes of Apple, Google, Amazon, Sony etc. People don't own the content, they own a license which lasts as long as the service or the rights to the content and then it's gone.
