Netflix has been the company that's seemingly known this and the others haven't, I assume because their business started as literally distributing physical media. Something which none of the other companies ever had experience with since they paid other people to do it or didn't do it at all.
Apple's overbite is funnier because they're one of the first companies with how they sold TV/movies through iTunes and Jobs absolutely understood the bargain he was getting.
Unfortunately for streamers I'm one of those people that doesn't like to start a TV show when I think it's going to get canceled in the first season. And if there's a bunch of people like me, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
