My impression of someone's programming who doesn't subscribe to services is of mostly just TV shows. If you want to watch some other type of programming then you have to access some other gadget or dark place on the internet to download or stream it. It's cheaper, but it also seems constraining and troublesome. How wrong am I?

It really all depends on your level of watching.  I watch mostly sports.

I cut the cord roughly 3 years ago.  I used my Roku box to stream Netflix and got by with that for a while. Then I found SlingTV and I have been very happy with that.  I get to watch most of the Chicago Cubs games with the channels it provides.  I get NFL Network and ESPN/ESPN2.  I get FS1 too and watch some sports there.  They now offer a cloud recording service that I've used. It has AMC so I can watching The Walking Dead and FX so I can watch American Horror Story.  That is about the extent of my TV watching so it works for me.

All for less than half or probably a third of what I would pay for cable/dish.
