Why aren’t people allowed to to use movies or tv shows as background listening?

I know several people on my life who have been leaving a TV on in their house all day, for decades before Netflix existed. Personally I can’t stand this, but because it’s a distraction, not because they are somehow disrespecting someone involved in the production who wants to believe they are an artist.

Oh they can use it for background listening, but content shouldn't be specifically designed for that mode. Same way people using a hammer to drive screws shouldn't have screws designed for hammer driving. It just doesn't make sense when something more appropriate already exists.
