At present, yes, I do.

It does seem rather odd for him to subscribe to Virgin for services he doesn't want, then to pay again for those unwanted services with a NOW subscription.

Jesus!!!!
Let's go through this again. What I find is that everything my wife and I watch these days is also available on the streamers. Trouble is, remembering which streamer is showing which programme, and remembering what you have only partly watched, or where you are in a series can be a pain. Also, my wife finds it confusing getting ibnto the streamers without having a watchlist that can take her into it with just one click.
The only way I can ditch the channels and keep my wife engaged with this is to ensure that she can retain her watchlists.
The only barrier for me in switching off the pay channels is the absence of Discovery+.
As for NOW, I know that's not covered by Virgin, but there is so little of any interest on Sky these days that we can just dip in and out of that as required. Netflix is the main problem because as you say, we have no alternative but to use their watchlist.
But what I am planning, once Discovery+ arrives (or alternatively, Max), is to switch to Virgin Stream, which will enable us to watch the programmes we want using only two watchlists, which is the best that can be achieved on any system at present. And I will no longer pay for any channels by subscription.
Something better may come along in time, but for me this works pretty well.
