You’re making the alluring mistake of thinking of a monolithic “we” who all want the same thing.

In reality people have many preferences and desires, and they pay for streaming services or not for a variety of reasons.

Some people are maybe sick of being stuck with a giant cable company and are happy to pay for many streaming services. Other people likely still have cable and use streaming to supplement that for specific shows. Others have different reasons.

Maybe they can have different subscription levels for different audiences, either resolution or content library or freshness. Although seeing that it’s artificial and only the resolution could have justification I’m not sure enough of their subscribers would identify of find value in that differentiation.
