I guess I'm in the minority... I wasn't arguing for owning vs streaming in general though, but against actually deleting an existing music collection from a drive.
I have a streaming subscription myself. However I can stop that (as I did for a while when on a budget) and still have my own collection. Which is not all available on streaming services.
I didn't need to serve it remotely though as it was uploaded to free-tier Google Music and streamed via that.
Also, content available from each platform does vary over time. More so with video.
