Your analogy is off the wall. BBC3 is returning as a conventional channel because it was far too early to close it down. In good time, all the Beeb’s channels will close down together and the content made available on a streamer.

My analogy is no more off the wall than your implication that there's a lot of £50 millions out there to be saved from going streaming only.
If there was you'd perhaps have a point. However it's simply not true.
The fact the BBC are going in reverse suggests you may be getting further away from, not closer to, your 2035 vision.
You're forgetting (as you always do) is that the BBC get ratings for simply being top of the EPG. A prized position they simply will not give up. The same content on BBC 1 rates higher than BBC 2. Same goes for ITV for major news coverage (when ITV did such a thing) and simulcasts of the World Cup final or major England games.
