yes the tiny fraction of content existed on tv created a market for the vcr (and the fair use of timeshift)
but the fact that people watched tv shows outside of prime time created a market for a vast majority of the content you see today (something that could not have happened if the vcr hadn't validated the fact that people wanted to watch shows outside of prime time)
The the point 1% of content created the market for the vcr
The copyright holders of that 1% tried to kill the vcr calling it piracy
After wards that created a market for NEW content, new shows, new movies that would not have existed (what is now 99% of the market place)
notice you skipped over the question
How Exactly were people going to play movies on VCR tape cassettes without a VCR.
That piracy device created the marketplace for 99% of the content your bragging about
