When people used to watch TV as a family, a commercial break would be a good point to talk about whats happened so far and have a quick conversation.

It also provided an opportunity to use the washroom, get snacks etc.

Yes, you can pause a stream to do all of that. But there's a psychological difference between making a choice to stop the action or taking advantage of when it's done for you.

I agree. Heck, my family still does this. We don’t like streaming services because our internet’s too slow to for it. Plus, baking competitions are better live.
