Biggest reason to get rid of it is because it just encourages a 'mile wide and an inch deep' music consumption. What I've been doing for several years now is just setting on maybe two dozen albums or so every year and really listen and re-listen actively. People have also noticed that streaming has discouraged if not destroyed entire forms of music, like the concept album. As a teenager I really loved just listening through Dream Theater's Metropolis over and over and I hadn't done that in ages after starting to stream music.
Nabokov used to say the only good reader is a re-reader, because only by engaging deeply do you actually ever get to any level of detail, and the same is true for music as well really.

We'd have the CD or two in the car for trips to school and then maybe a dozen at home that we'd cycle through. I'm still not 100% sure it's the best way to enjoy music, but I feel myself less distracted by looking for something new all the time, so that's gotta count for something, right? Plus, with my own library, I get to use mopidy + snapcast to synchronize streaming through the house and it's a special kind of magic.
