Back in the day, music was costly. If we bought an album/tape/CD we didn't initially like, we would give it several tries.

Agreed. I'm not pro-piracy in an unrestricted sense, but I will resort to whatever means necessary to preserve the media I love.
Insofar as quality goes, the difference between watching (true) 4K UHD on disk vs. a compressed steam is quite noticeable. The recent remaster of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a great example.
- Actual ownership
- Tangible display
- Overall quality
These are reasons enough to maintain some physicality in media.

I'd also be curious if this pertains to the types of crimes.
Certain types of crimes are just more "exciting." (e.g. CCTV footage of Walmart shenanigans.) I wouldn't be surprised if the social media sharing has to do with how unfamiliar or bizarre a certain event is to the reposter.
