Disney copying Netflix makes it just harder for the customers. The whole Netflix subscription business model should die. When content distribution is commodity as you say, the only service they provide is easy payment.

Disney, Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Spotify etc. divide content between them and if you want to watch four shows, listen a music and read an ebook, you may have to subscribe 7 or more content delivery system.

People should be able to pay for the individual series or even episodes. The only reason why you need to create account to consume content is to make payment easier.

Isn't this already a thing? iTunes and Amazon both allow you to purchase individual episodes or season passes.

And they let you subscribe to other services through their payment processing. And if you have a FireTV device, you can search for content across all those providers

Yes, but much more expensive, compared to the flatrate thing.
