Whether you recognise your own misunderstand or not is irrelevant to whether you are or not.

My reference to poorer households was not a slur at all, just a recognition that such households won’t be forking out for streamers.
I guess I should at least accept your recognition of the low cost streaming future being a myth as progress.

I recognise also that there is a sizeable contingent of the population that steadfastly refuse to pay any more than the licence fee to watch TV.
And quite right too if they feel that the ever increasing number of products in the marketplace offer poor value relative to other forms of entertainment.

With regard to your last paragraph, I’ve always believed that the streaming option will become less expensive with more choice over time. You can be reassured that the streamers are now considering the bundling of content with rival streamers. That should make streamers more accessible and bring us lower prices than paying for each streamer separately.
There’s no basis for this prophecy any more than your 2035 one so forgive me for scoffing at your so-called “reassurance”.

Bundling of content - another benefit of “streamers” bites the dust as you need to buy content that you don’t want in order to get the content you do. Linear channels and bundles of content. Where have I seen that before.
