Like, I’m on a plane. I don’t want to watch Toy Story when I can do that at home, I want to see what the pilots see. And that way every seat has technically a window to look out of.

Yes. Just like seeing lightning with your own eyes is different than seeing a GIF of it on the internet.
A TV broadcast of a rocket launch is better in some ways - cameras are well positioned to show you more, etc. but there is something about seeing a thing with your own eyes.
I was just pointing out the absurdity of describing seeing something on TV in a plane, recorded with a camera on the plane, as seeing it with your own eyes, without even realizing it 😄.
Oh I see, the last thing I said about turning on the TV. Well you’re right that wouldn’t be the same but part of the problem was that we didn’t really know what we were missing. My kid got all stirred up over the fact that he couldn’t see the rocket. TV would have been something.
A lot of thing you can see from a plane have this problem of only being on one side so yeah the TV would just be a slight concession to folks on the wrong side.
