It’s hardly pedantry to pin you down on your use of terminology given your track record in moving the goalposts.
The only think that has “sunk in” is your own realisation that people will continue to watch linear television, no matter how backward you believe it to be.
Indeed, let’s revisit the opening post:
Digital terrestrial had nothing to do with it.

I didn't say it did. I was merely pointing out the obvious, the all these scheduled channels that we have now will die off in favour of on demand and streaming. If you read my last post, I admitted that my use of the word 'linear' was not the best word to use, even though it was used that way in common parlence at the time.
I'm not sure what goalposts you think I've moved. Maybe it's just your understanding of what I said on the first page of this thread.
Even David Bouchier used the term linear, to demonstrate the point.
“We are talking about moving away from simple linear TV and that [old] multichannel line-up,” he said. “Linear is the old technology and…not a valid pay TV proposition on its own.”
