Nobody “stays tuned” anymore, except to UI metaphors that linger long past peak meaningfulness.
Tuning a radio or TV has evolved to finding and saving frequency presets during setup that we then occasionally click through when we’re not streaming on-demand non-live media feeds.

right but i mean we still have a 3.5" diskette icon that means 'save' so i feel there might be a bit of a queue for UI metaphor modernization

Well, but that operation still has the same basic meaning. The problem with staying tuned is that it’s now a different non-default behavior and the default has shifted.
