If the market was competitive, people would just choose another product or service that didn't use such practices as you can clearly be profitable without doing this.

You'll only get "competition" in the streaming space if you could eliminate most or all of the exclusive content. You want to switch to send the message you're unhappy but you'd probably be just as unhappy or moreso with a service that has nothing you care to watch.
