I think it depends on the person. I am a huge music fan, and am very particular about my music. There are some remastered versions that I strongly dislike (and some that I prefer). I find it to be near impossible to know what version I am going to get on a streaming service. The original and the remaster may be from different labels, which means when streaming services renegotiate, you may suddenly end up with a different version in your playlist.

For movies, I _probably_ don't care if I get the theatrical cut, extended cut, un-rated version and so on (unless we are talking about the Abyss), so I sort of see your point.

But for me, that is why I curate my own music collection locally and run navidrome to stream.
