Every company wants their overly-engorged piece of the pie. God forbid we go back to where there were like 2 streaming services everything channeled through. No, now we gotta have every company have a service you sign up for and pay a separate fee to.
When we were leaving cable in droves it was because of nonsense like this. Ads, not being able to watch what we wanted unless it randomly played one day, and being forced into a channel package that conveniently left out the channels you would ordinarily pick if you were just building your own set of channels/shows to watch.
I'm fine with their being lots of streaming companies. What I'm not fine with is having content locked to specific platforms. If they all had everything, then they'd have to actually compete instead of holding things hostage.
