Clearly, although some programmes are available before they are shown on live TV - and often you can see the complete box set before the programme is scheduled on a TV channel.
The thing is, you can watch the programme you choose at a time convenient to you, not simply at the scheduled time, and you don’t need to go to the bother of recording it first.

Sitting on streaming apps for example switching between live Champions League games, or overseas apps live Premiership games, it's nowhere near as convenient as broadcast content on a set top box with EPG numbers. That's just within the same platform. Heaven forbid you want to check the score on a Sky football league game while watching the TNT game on their app.

I’ve acknowledged on many occasions that it’s different for sports viewers.
