I try to. Games are honestly a decent case for this. Same goes for music, books etc. It's video that's really the worst scenario.
Yeah, video is nonsense. You can't even get Netflix on Linux in 1080p (without serious workarounds), even though the system would be plenty capable.
Netflix is already the wrong solution IMO. I want files that I can store on my local devices and play whenever I want to without the need for an internet connection. Blu-Ray is the only way to get that but those are overpriced and still have (thankfully breakable) DRM.
For storage, it's absolutely the wrong solution, as it doesn't offer the option to store.
On the other hand, many media experiences are ephemeral. At least, this applies to how I consume media. Wrt/ videos, I very rarely go back to watch the same thing twice, and so, anything storage-based is more of a burden, than a desire.
