The problems with streaming services:

- they do not allow anonymous usage (you need to provide a visa application worth amount of personal information)

- stupid geographical restrictions

- they tend to limit quality, both for copyright and traffic saving purposes

As an intermediate result, a generation of people is growing who got used to watching digitally compressed audio and video (social media, especially for mobile platforms, use even worse compression). And new Apple headphones seem to use lossy compression as well, so we have a codec compressing another codec's artifacts.
