>I think digital delivery platforms benefit from competition, and we should not be locked down into a single monopolistic, stagnating platform.
I agree with this in principle but I think it's only necessarily true when production and distribution are separated from each other. As it stands now, I don't see much actual competition or innovation in any of the streaming services, but rather the contrary: the experience is worse now than it was 10 years ago. The only thing we have is a never ending arms race of new stuff to watch being kept exclusive (which you mention) while the UIs move backwards and prices creep up.
What we have now is akin to the studio system and I don't see why it shouldn't be broken up in the same manner.
