For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn't want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

It depends, you can rent an already set-up server/VM just for torrenting and related purposes, but of course nothing prevents you from setting it up in any VM wherever you rent. Just know that some providers that don't explicitly offer a seedbox for purposes of unknown legality will not appreciate it and may terminate the lease.
