I agree about the "everything in one place"; besides that, in terms of shopping, there's not much to it. In terms of services there used to be some pretty neat stuff, e.g. unlimited cloud storage for photos (including RAW files) for something like 50 EUR/year, but of course they axed that.
Plenty of alternatives for everything, just maybe a little less convenient.
In terms of media, I don't stream from paid services; whatever I pay for is either at local shows where I buy CDs from artists directly, or through label stores, or through outlets like Bandcamp (btw it's Bandcamp Friday right now until the end of the weekend, go support what you like).
