As cable companies lose customers, Missouri considers giving them a tax break (stltoday.com)

Ok, so they currently pay taxes and streaming services don't (or not all of them do). They are fighting this. Fair enough.

But that won't solve the problem. Everything cable offers is now offered by the internet and even much more. It might just very slightly slow down the decay. This is inevitable.

What's wrong with companies simply dying when they lose customers? What are we trying to solve?
