Bearing in mind I only live with one person, and I'm lucky enough to live in a place with ample internet options, but this just isn't a problem for me.

I've got gigabit fiber now, but in my last place I had 76mbps (but in practice it was more like 60 or so). We were able to watch two streams, with my wife's instagram and my reddit scrolling comfortably. The only reason we upgraded was when we moved 1) fiber was cheaper, and 2) I changed jobs and all of a sudden needed to download far more build files (hundreds of gigabytes a week)

If we had 4 people streaming different things we might have struggled.
