UK Media Changes has dissected what you call Ofcom's views in great detail and with much discussion but there isn't much point in discussing it here as that it isn't in the public domain. They have considered the points stakeholders have raised with Ofcom and also looked at what other countries are doing. Chris has summarised the Ofcom document far better than your interpretation of it but the Ofcom consultation is weak and doesn't consider some of the alternatives. As I've said elsewhere, the UK may end up playing catch up with this one.

Do you deny that the studios are now putting all the good content on the streamers, leaving TV schedules looking pretty decimated compared with five years ago? Then why is it that so many of my neighbours and other people I meet complain there is nothing on the TV channels any more that they want to watch? It’s not just me saying that.
If you think the schedules are good, I’m glad you are happy. But in my opinion (note that phrase), the days of traditional broadcasting are numbered.

After years of integration, studios now seem to be going their own way. It's not totally about traditional broadcasting either but there is a pattern. Comcast's Spinco, plans to spin off ITV Studios. Streaming turned out to be very expensive and patterns are changing to merge streamers and integrate services. As production and distribution arms separate, studios producing content exclusively for their streaming / broadcast divisions will lessen and content will be more widely marketed. Nobody knows where that will go but, no doubt, you will selectively pick out snippets that reinforce your views and disregard anything that doesn't.
As for "noting the phrase", everyone on here is aware that you just regurgitate your opinions. My issue was that you state them as facts.
You can't really frame an opinion as "the reality is..." and expect to be taken seriously.
