I guess I'm different because I'm often on a plane or train, in an airport, at a hotel, or living in a place where I'd like to watch a video but can't stream it (or not at a decent quality) due to internet availability at the time or locality restrictions. I also prefer FOSS operating systems where playing DRM'd content can be challenging or impossible.
Other reasons: data caps, privacy concerns (like when Netflix leaked the watching habits of a large portion of their viewers as part of their "challenge"), security (maybe I want to watch on a device not attached to the internet), etc.
I agree that 5 times seems high -- that just adds to the point that downloadable content and DVDs are overpriced relative to streaming.
