The quote is,

“The streamers are denying us any access whatsoever to certain films, and I think people are responding with their natural reaction, which is ‘I’m going to buy it, and I’m going to watch it any time I want."

Yes, that's certainly true for me, Mr Cameron, that's why I'm currently curating my collection of your films in the best possible Blu-ray format. I'm not a big fan of your AI upscales, but I will purchase The Abyss because it's better than my twenty-year-old DVD.

Yes, I had a conversation that touched on this in my local last night after the manager described the hassle of setting up his daughter's Sky Glass - it's reached the point where you are paying a subscription to not only watch and "own"/rent media but but to have the device to watch them on in your house. I assume it suits the kind of people who want zero clutter in their soulless Scandinavian style box of a house where everything is beige, including The kid's clothes.
