Do you really want everything centralized to a single actor, though? If Netflix had complete monopoly, that would have been catastrophic.

That's not what I'm saying. Take cable tv subscriptions for example. Multiple companies offer different subscription tiers at different prices but you can get the highest tier subscription which includes all the channels.

Now imagine having to subscribe individually to each Channel, this is essentially what these streaming services are doing.
