I think there's a significant difference between content packaged as "channels" and content packaged as individual shows. It's the difference between knowing that your Netflix subscription comes with* 10,000 different shows, and you will probably only ever care about 1000 or so, and knowing that your cable subscription comes with 250 channels, and you will probably only ever care about 20, and definitely never care about 100 of them.
It's also the difference between the, what, $20/month? that Netflix subscription costs and the $80/month or whatever that the TV portion of a cable subscription costs nowadays.

Those numbers seem pretty close. I think the cost bit is probably the big thing. Yes, it's a bit annoying when I spend 10 minutes trying to find a show on Amazon which is, in fact, on Netflix.
But the main thing is that a lot of people have cut their $80-$100/month cable cord and their new normal is maybe a couple of [possibly shared] subscriptions plus maybe Prime--not their prior $100 monthly content bill.
