More like ISP StreamingService partnership did this since it is far cheaper for them to streaming from edge boxes at their own CDNs than p2p which hurt the ISPs because they have to pay for peering bandwidth. Also streaming services are just too mature these days and easy to use compared to p2p. There are plenty of free licence movies and tv shows but even those prefer streaming platform over p2p. It has almost nothing to do with DRM.
