You're literally saying "streaming is cheaper if I cheat/pirate/break the TOS".
Cable/satellite are even cheaper if you buy a pirate smartcard too, so we're not really making a fair comparison, are we?

This is just an extra bonus on the easy to cancel aspect, and the no ads aspect.
I think longer term you’ll see the Kickstarter/Patreon model for streaming be the final evolution of the Cable to Streaming transition. Which is likely what you’re still waiting for.
