Back in the day, before streaming was a thing, there were lots of people saying that they'd gladly pay for content if it was served to them in a convenient way. But why would you pay for a worse experience (at that time physical media, often at lower quality, and lower availability) when you can get a better one for free?

Its their platform, they can do whatever they want with it I guess, but this trend is definitely gonna be a big boost to piracy.
