> because you almost certainly weren't watching those shows on linear television anyways.

I'm just one person, but I definitely am watching the local PBS over an antenna, and so do several members of my family (living in different households).

The local broadcast is excellent quality, I get a good signal to it, never any glitches, and I enjoy the local news and other programming too.

I've been running a MythTV backend to record OTA content since the early 2000's and PBS is, by far, my most recorded channel.

I don’t watch my local PBS over antenna much anymore, but it is great, just like you describe. Amazing what you can watch for free OTA, when you think about it.
