Yet - people sit down and watch linear TV.

Out of 60+ million people in this country, a maximum of 8.3m people watched one of those episodes as it was screened.
No, linear is not dead, but an average Neighbours episode used to get more than double those numbers in the late 80s and that show wasn't even shown in prime time, then Sky arrived and that's when things changed and streaming is just the next step in how we watch tv.
