The author is, unfortunately. I know because I am exactly the same when it comes to music. I couldn't be less interested in streaming services and get my music either through CDs or through downloads when I can get a lossless, unencumbered recording.
Streaming is ephemeral, and all the money I'd pay to get temporary access to music could be spent on getting effectively permanent access to music.
I also run a streaming server for those instances where I really do want to stream. It's just not going to be somebody else's.
All that said, I don't care if others use streaming services. If it works for you, that's great! It just doesn't work for me.
