By that logic the government should subsidize/fund Netflix, Amazon and Apple because they deliver and produce content that entertains me.

Lots of governments do subsidize the creation of entertainment media. Ever notice how a lot of US TV shows end up with a logo stating "made in Georgia"?

This is true of lots of places with large-ish film industries. I see similar things for Montreal, Phoenix, and other places.

Believe it or not, you don’t have to extend every thought you disagree with to a nonsensical conclusion. “Oh you bake cookies in the oven because it is hot? By that logic you should bake cookies on the surface of the sun.”

It's not a nonsensical conclusion.

You need to argue why your entertainment should be paid for by tax money, while his entertainment should not.

You can't simply ask taxpayers to pay for your entertainment.
