> How do you explain why more recent movies are more expensive to buy or rent on streaming services, then?

Artificial price inflation and recouping costs combined. Fueled by FOMO, people tend to pay more to be able to access it and be up-to-date (TM) in their social circles.

They'll probably recoup the costs without inflated prices, but if they can exploit that title for more money, they'll do it.
