ᐅ Building without antenna and satellite or coaxial cables without conduit?

Hello,
we received the additional electrical work quote today (ouch), and the contractor is basically getting very little because we decided to remove both the antenna and satellite connections.
Now I’m wondering if we are really that far off base or if I missed something. The antenna is that old-fashioned cable through which you could only receive channels like ARD, ZDF, and some regional channels back in the ’90s, right? Are there more channels available via antenna now? Is it even necessary? Does everyone just “have one”?
We currently have a satellite dish on the roof, but I believe the last time we actually used it was... I don’t know, 8 years ago?
So we were thinking about not installing a satellite connection at all. We simply don’t watch TV via satellite. I hate commercials, and when we do watch anything, it’s through streaming services. Plus, in our free time, we mostly do other things than watch TV anyway.
Are there any compelling reasons why we should still have satellite or antenna connections installed that I might be overlooking?
Topic 2: The electrical quote states that the CAT cables will be installed without conduits. I would prefer them to be installed with conduits so they can be replaced if needed in the future. Would you go for that? Or is it unnecessary?

Let me guess: business informatics specialist or programmer?
We have some of those at our company too. They don’t know such things either. They do other really great stuff!
To each their own. Well, "programmer" is a bit of an understatement. We are both software developers. I actually studied business informatics, but that was several years ago. We also had a course on network technology, but anyone who still remembers everything from university that they never needed again, please raise your hand.

I think it will be difficult to teach the electrician to leave a CAT cable hanging from the ceiling. Why should that be an intellectual challenge?

What is supposed to be an intellectual challenge about that?The real challenge will probably be that he comes up with more excuses as to why he can’t or won’t do it, because he’d rather earn the money for a can.One answer made me a bit uncertain, so I’m asking again.
My plan for the access point (Ubiquiti) was to have an empty conduit installed, with the cable coming out there including an RJ45 connector. Is that correct?
This is no problem on the wall.
But how is it best for the electrician to implement this on the ceiling? (Upper floor, collar beam ceiling currently with foil and insulation, later with drywall)
