The value of a good FM tuner?......, now and in the future...

I jumped ship from FM and went to CD's decades ago. Not having to listen to advertisements or know-it-all announcers was heaven sent.

I am now a fervent streamer. 
I use a Bluesound Node and an external Dac (Ayre Codex), and find the sound quality to be very acceptable. Using Tidal or Qobuz will allow you to access higher resolution formats, but even Spotify sounds pretty good (and in my opinion, has a greater catalog, as well as good recommendations).
I won't try to argue that it sounds as good as vinyl, but streaming and DAC's are evolving fast. I can see it overtaking vinyl in the near future.
If you doubt that statement, then recall how no one thought digital cameras could out perform film- yet, there are now digital cameras with 100mp sensors that blow away even large format film cameras-and with the ability to do post production editing that was unheard of 20 years ago.
Just sayin'...

Unfortunately streaming of radio stations typically has a pitifully low bitrate, with something like 128 kbps mp3 or aac being common. It's nice to have such a wide selection, but it definitely isn't audiophile quality in most cases. If you go to the internet sites of any radio stations you're interested in you should be able to see their streaming bitrate.

If you have a good strong FM channel nearby, then a tuner is a good option. If you don't have any good stations, it's worthless. I bought two tuners not long ago just because we have a station I really like, I listen all the time and I don't have to log on.

I can't imagine not being able to tune in the Classical or Jazz PBS stations on my Mac MR71. I do miss 70's R&R stations playing complete LP sides.

Obviously streaming is superior regarding choices, but it won't have the magic tube sound of a 50+ year old classic.

If you live in an area with no reception, not much choice but "get connected"
