Easier to use? While that is certainly subjective, I doubt anyone would notice much of a difference between using "cable TV" and YouTubeTV. Netflix has a very easy to use interface.
My Comcast internet service has gone out many times when I still have cable TV. I have had many more internet outages than cable TV outages. In fact, I just had an internet outage yesterday, but the cable TV still worked. The Comcast cable TV service is not dependant on the internet service, except that they use the same incoming cable to the house. In fact, you can actually turn off or disconnect the Comcast modem and still have their cable TV service.
