Money? Unlike downloads, it's free. If broadcasters charge for it, all bets are
off, of course.
As to linear consumption, I haven't consumed TV in linear mode for decades
(literally). These handhelds could, in principle have built-in storage. And
sure, if broadcasters made all their stuff available online, at the same time
as OTA, having the ATSC receiver would probably be less desirable to these
18-29 year olds that expressed an interest. In that case, the main advantage of
the OTA broadcast would be to remove some of the high bandwidth traffic from
the two-way part of the cellco's network.
