It’s okay, we all had cringy early Netflix opinions. Back then I was a vigilant “video stores will always be better” sperg. At the time I sort of had a valid argument because it was faster to go down to blockbuster or Hollywood video than to wait 2-3 days for your movie to come in the mail, but in hindsight it’s no different than the amazon vs the department store debate
Personally, my only beef with streaming is that the company can take down a movie or show you like at any time they want, so you have to get it when it's hot. (Granted, it probably happens far less to Netflix Originals and other services' equivalents, for obvious reasons, unless they're really that poorly received). The way I see it, it's good to have streaming for the convenience of just whipping out your device and hitting "play", but it's also good to have physical media so it'll last as long as you take good care of it (i.e. no scratches, storing properly, etc.).
