Yes, there's probably someone somewhere listening to pirate shortwave radio broadcasts, too.

You're being pedantic. Most people do not consume FM radio as their main source of music.

The worldwide radio market revenue is about $35B/yr. I think that’s larger than the audio streaming market; the reference point I found for that was $25B/yr.

Granted, not all radio is music (nor is streaming), but (assuming I didn’t get the research wrong) radio is larger, making it at least slightly weird to call it a pedantic argument that the larger of the two markets even exists as a source of music for people.
