If anyone's curious, 98.4% of US households had television in the mid 90s (most likely the peak). In 1960 it was 90%.

And I would wager that the numbers are still very similar. One doesn't need to pay for cable TV to watch TV these days.
If you're implying ~60% of the pop is pirating cable I don't believe it's anywhere near that high
edit: oh I think you meant streaming-only. Yeah, maybe a lot higher...I don't have a good gauge on that
Streaming only, OTA+streaming, etc.
The only people I know under the age of 40 with "cable TV" use it pretty much exclusively to watch sports.

Are you forgetting about broadcast TV? NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX are enough for most households. Cable isn't the value-add that it used to be.
