Why should people who don’t watch the BBC have to pay?
As the commercial channels receive most of their funding from advertisements and subscriptions, it is unfair to expect the viewers that tune into those channels to pay for a TV licence.

People want the BBC, but don't want to pay. They want new programming, they want radio, tv and website etc, without ads. What's your solution?

Its a public service broadcaster. It not just tv, its radio , website etc. People may say they don't use it, but they do. It's an essential public service, not pay tv.
