Meanwhile, I haven't spent thousands of dollars on a home cinema, because I have neither the room, time, or spare cash to buy a giant 4k TV, really good internet, 37 independent streaming services at their max tier, $14 a pop to buy a movie on a streaming service, etc etc etc.

$20 to see a movie on a local 50ft IMAX screen is such an incomparable experience.

Sure that's true if you never use TV otherwise. But most people are already getting all those things anyway. And I also I very clearly said that having kids is what made home streaming worth it. Because for me to go to a movie, I have to pay a babysitter $25/hr for 4 hours (to cover driving, waiting in line, previews, etc), and my wife likes popcorn so I have to pay $10 for that instead of popping an instant one at home for 20 cents. And I have to pay for two seats. So now a movie trip costs me $150.

And I already have all the streaming services because kids.
