Not having to dedicate a corner of my house to a physical warehouse for media is genuinely really nice.
I have an old vinyl collection and my toddler son is constantly trying to pull these 50 year old records off the walls to play with them. No idea how my parents dealt with me digging through their VHS catalog at every opportunity.
To each their own, but I miss not having that tactile browsing experience.
Growing up, my mum kept an actual catalogue of what was on each one of our home-recorded VHS tapes as well as their timestamps!
But back to OPs original point - it is strange how we have just normalised not obtaining our own copies of media as they’re provided to us. All the more reason to fully support pirating any materials you can (legally) access.
