Closed caption state should be tied to profile

So many years & still you don’t have the state of close captioning tied to our profiles.  Our son wants closed captioning on and I want closed captioning off. Why don’t you remember the closed captioning state for each profile?  Why do I have to keep turning it off & our son has to keep turning it on?
