I don't remember the last time I bought an album or song, but I use streaming music services all the time. Same goes for anyone I know. Admittedly anecdotal but then again so is your assertion.

I couldn't imagine relying on those services for most of my listening.
If you have an Android phone: Google Play All Access.
You can offline content to your phone as if you own the music, but you get full access to their complete library. It's pretty brilliant, IMO.
Edit: though that doesn't help you if you're looking for a radio-like service... I tend to listen to albums at a time, and discover artists through third party services (e.g., Rate Your Music) that then drive me to sample stuff on Play. So it works well for me.
It's the discovery I find annoyingly troublesome.
(But then I'm one of the people who grew up buying music, I've got ~1,200 albums on vinyl and ~5000 on CD as a testament to my music purchasing past...)
