I struggle to see how the current status quo is worse than cable.

I pay less for my streaming services than my parents do for cable, and the quantity and quality of content at my disposal is still far better than I ever remember getting with cable.

Cable breaks a show by sticking adverts in the middle even though you've paid for access to watch the show.

Even if it was exactly the same price, cable would be a worse experience.
