Also if I still had a VHS player, I could "stream" some old VHS movies to my
TV.

With things like Plex, there's a tradeoff between convenience and quality. 
It's like ripping music from CD to MP3 - When encoded well, it seems fairly
difficult to tell the difference in quality.  If I want to quickly bring up a
movie or show to watch, often I'm okay with it.  I do still like to buy movies
on blu-ray though, for the quality.
