That doesn't change the fact that it's better to fucking own the media you enjoy than leaving it in the hands of people that can change or remove it without even telling you.
I don't even understand why you are arguing this. Do you own a streaming-plattform?

Doesn't change the fact that CDs cannot be remotely altered or removed after you purchased them.
I mean, you have seen what Disney is doing to their back-catalog in recent years?
Japan isn't even remotely doing that. Find me a SINGLE politician in any western nation who goes even remotely this hard on the rainbow mafia.
