Seems like it's a universal law of media companies: They constantly and seemingly deliberately won't allow any distribution channel to get good enough to beat "piracy".
As soon as something comes along that has the potential of being a one-stop shop, they fuck everything up by splintering into many services you have to pay for individually.
As soon as something comes along that offers a huge catalog, they fuck everything up by fighting among themselves over IP rights and exclusivity and randomly removing random shows from random seasons.
As soon as something comes along that is cheap enough to make the risk of piracy not worth it, they fuck everything up by jacking up the price.
As soon as something comes along that delivers piracy-like video quality over streaming, they fuck it up by over-compressing it and otherwise nerfing the video quality.
It's like these media executives are meeting every year to ensure that their products are all just shitty enough to keep piracy alive.
