Even with identical security stance (which I doubt) across services I'd still expect this because A) pwnable accounts on existing services were most likely already pwned, whereas Disney+ has a mass onboarding of pwnable accounts, so it's Christmas for scrit kiddies and B) there's a ton of attention on Disney+ right now so there will be much more press scrutiny regardless of the true scale of the problem.
