Sounds like a monopoly. I don't think that's the answer but I don't have a solution either.
It works better for music because about 80% of tracks are distributed through Universal and Sony. Having deals with just those two gives you a gigantic library. And of course Universal and Sony take gigantic cuts, because they can. (there are pro and cons)
But I agree, the competition on the market should be about the way the content is served and not about what content is served.
I actually wouldn't mind a monopoly if we could go back to the days of very reasonable prices with only one service, like back when Netflix was pretty much the only kid on the block. But we're never heading back to those days.
Yeup, enshitification is inevitable.
