The situation is worse than not being able to stream: You can't even _buy_ DRM-less movies. Very much in contrast to music.

I buy lots of lossless, digital music that I truly own and can play anywhere I want. I'd love to do the same with movies, but it's just not possible. Buying a movie from a service that may or may not be around in a few years is not an option for me.
