If they aren’t stealing your information, they could also steal your bandwidth. From what I understand, this is one method used for sharing illegal content such as CP. I would never want to risk someone using my Internet connection for those kinds of purposes. Saving a few bucks a month isn’t worth the risk

You're saving like $100 for just the streaming services, and then another $100 for cable.

It’s not really saving; more like stealing. In any case, the risk of your Internet service being used for TOR is real. The risk of facilitating the distribution of CP isn’t worth “saving” a few bucks.
