Nice solution for users, one that will immediately be denied by all providers.

Why take your share of $15 /month if you can easily coerce the vast majority of consumers to pay the full $15 for your service by releasing the next season of <insert popular show here>.

All it took for the masses to immediately flood Disney+ was owning Star Wars and Marvel.

I subscribed to HBO because of Game of Thrones back in the day, I have Prime anyways and share Netflix with 3 other people.

I want what you described but nobody is going to let this happen if consumers who are too tech-illiterate to pirate will pay up anyways.
