"Cutting the cord" has always referred to cancelling paid programming from traditional sources such as "cable TV" and has never referred to not having internet access. I know many people who have cut their costs by over $100 a month and still watch what they want. Other people just like to overpay and the "cable" companies just love those kinds of customers. The "lengths" you refer to involves buying an HDMI stick, hopping on Wi-Fi and signing up for a service or just using an over-the-air antenna. Hardly a lot of work. And by the way, Wikipedia is a pretty good source of info.

It’s a personal choice, of course, but when I see the lengths people are going to (including jail broken devices which amount to piracy) in order to watch their shows, it amazes me. I’ll happily pay the $170 a month for my bundle, and cut costs elsewhere.
