" servers air-gapped from the internet are just as vulnerable. Nothing, not even streaming, is impervious to disruption and/or loss"
This is not true at all. Servers are NOT "just as vulnerable" at all! --- While I agree that a personal music library is mostly unimportant now that streaming is a far superior method, but the library can be protected quite easily. Mine is backed up and a copy is in my Safe Deposit Box (It does not take that much physical room) along with family photos.
And streaming will always be around as there is money to be made. There may be a disruption in service, but it will only be temporary.
And if you don't care if you lose your library, then you have nothing to lose. But, there are good solutions for those that do care.
