Essentially here you are accepting that the convenience that Virgin (and Sky) offer is worth something and that there’s a proportion of people who don’t want six or seven different subscriptions to different services accessible via different apps/sticks.
I don't see how you make that out. I am on record as saying that in the future, pay tv channels will die off and instead we will have bundles of streaming services offered by the likes of VM.

If we had that in place now, we wouldn't need Rokus and Fire sticks any more and my wife would cope because access would be through the V6.

We will get both eventually, but as you know, Virgin likes to take its time with this sort of thing.

A happy exception will be the Smithsonian channel, due to launch, even on VM, tomorrow!

I do, mate, but I'm hardly going to go out for the evening and leave her unable to watch the telly, am I? I'm not that heartless!
