I know with my family we aren't
My parent may for netflix
My sister pays for HBO
My wife and I pay for Disney/Hulu (also espn came in the bundle but none of us watch sports but there wasn't a option to not get it)
we all share accounts and each have our profile.
We each have our own amazon prime account but that's more for shipping, with the streaming as a nice bonus.
I will get a free trail to other services and cancel them after i finish what ever show i wanted i couldn't get on the other pay services. which reminds me i need to sign up for a free paramount+ trial for the next batch of star trek seasons.
then there are all of the free streaming services that are ad supported (pluto IMDBtv etc...)
Honestly though other than a few prestige shows (Witcher, Mandalorian, Wandvision, Picard) and reruns of 90 and 00 sitcoms (scrubs frazer freinds) when i cant sleep, or star trek binge when my wife pulls a weekend evening shift at work I don't watch that much tv.
If I wanted to watch all of the shows I'm interested, and purchased all the streaming services that my Roku refers me to when I search, it would be probably ... US$150/month? Basic cable is $20 on comcast/Xfinity. But it is hard to compare because I search for movies rather than basic TV, which I think was your point.

Yes, some of us are having our media habits reshaped by our intolerance for bullshit.
