No, you didn't. Your old records still work. I have some that were bought by my deceased grandparents that still work fine. Maybe not all your old tapes work, but the ones that do will still play if you have a player. Old CDs may just now be starting to rot, but you've been able to rip them to files for 30 fucking years now so your own choice not to do that was a choice.

You can still use all of those older formats as long as you have the hardware still. That's always been the case. External disc drives for computers are like $30. I have a cheap "modern victrola" record player that also plays tapes, CDs, AM/FM radio, and can be used as a Bluetooth speaker. Was like $60. It's not great at any of it, but it's more than passable. "I chose to throw away my record collection and now I'm making it everyone's problem!"

iTunes still supports adding external music files to your library. On Android you can just toss them in a folder on it and use one of hundreds of music players to listen to them.

It might not be as convenient as picking whatever you want from the internet and getting it on demand, but none of the old ways were ever forcibly removed from you. Getting rid of what you needed to use them them was a personal choice.

There are no streaming exclusive music releases to miss out on.

The issue is that you want the benefits and convenience of the modern options without the drawbacks. Well, everyone wants the good without the bad, so deal with it.

It is easier than ever to get whatever music you want in whatever format you want it in, and easier than ever to get it for free, and easier than ever to discover new music you might like based off what you already know you like.

It is easier than ever to keep using old formats. It is easier than ever to convert off old formats if you desire.

So you're just complaining that things change over time? Welcome to life.
