Yes. Exactly identically to them spending money on DRM despite an obscenely strong body of work showing that DRM doesn't serve any purpose in any context. It's pure theater.

if it was pure theater my friends and family who pay for all their streaming services would be able to share the content without permission from Netflix, Hulu, etc. That this is not the case disproves your claim that it's pure theater. It does exactly what it aims to do and that's raising the barrier to entry for piracy.
