You're not wrong. I've seen a few videos from people in the music industry (which I'm loosely associated with) that point out the exact same thing.
Before I could drive, my buddy and I used to ride our bikes up to the nearby music store to browse or occasionally buy something.
I have a subscription to a streaming service, but unlike many, it's nowhere near being my primary source for listening. I got thousands of physical media here, with all the digital items ripped and stored on a NAS. I use it as a supplement, and to sample things before parting with money to buy a physical copy. (I could literally have saved thousands of dollars in decades past, from having purchased items I liked only one song from, or listened to once or twice and ended up not liking.) Streaming has only made music too easy to access, where nobody has to work at listening/collecting. Now it's just a swipe away from being forgotten, and onto the Next Big Thing.
That is one reason why some of the younger music lovers have gravitated back towards the physical media--they can select it from among dozens of bins in a store, bring it home to read the cover while playing the music, and have something physical to interact with. There is also a social aspect to it. Having friends stop by with their own music and sharing it together in the same space is lost with streaming.
I can so relate to it...
