Theoretically, having multiple streaming platforms should be good, as it prevents a monopoly. Problem is, they all have monopolies, on specific shows. Choosing the streaming services you want isn't about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have. All streaming shows should have all shows available. That's the only way to properly decide which service is worth paying for

But then they'd have to compete on features and usability, and no company wants that. They prefer to set up roadblocks and extract tolls.

Imagine selling a service by virtue of the quality of your service. Ridiculous
