I don't understand why multicast isn't used. I imagine starlink multicast will become a thing and maybe we will all get transceivers. Everything old will becomes new again...

Multicast on the public Internet has never been much of a thing, and seems unlikely to ever be much of a thing.

(Some of us have been dreaming about it becoming reality for decades, but some of us have also given up years ago.)

The more important question is not why no multicast, but why no torrent style stream where the viewers themselves share with other viewers.
