I think you are using RSS the way it was meant to be used, or, at least, the way I have been using it for years.
I my opinion, RSS isn’t meant to be your primary source of consumption, but your primary source of notification. For learning about new content being available. Instead of signing up for 165 newsletters, email subscriptions, or, in the worst form, downloading an app -> register an account -> subscribe to feed, you put the feed in your RSS client (which doesn’t require identifying yourself to the content provider in any form, registering interest, etc), and are notified when something new pops up.
