You won't get any arguments out of me about any of this.
OTOH, I have known a few people who don't see any reason to keep a book once they've read it; the concept of re-reading just isn't in their universe. As in, "Why would you want to keep all those books? Haven't you read them already?" While that attitude is rare in my social circles, I would imagine it's much more common elsewhere.
I can readily see something similar occurring around the idea of re-watching a movie, and for those people, streaming video is the ideal format. Because once you've seen it, it's gone -- not like books that you have to take to the used bookstore to get rid of.
