Lol the Disney+ app UX is honestly terrible. Not to mention the regular app crashes on apple devices.

Disney has _how_ much money to spend on their streaming services technology stack and they just... don't?

Just feels like they'll piss on the customerwhen given the chance because people will still pay for that sweet Disney juice regardless.

What I find funny is that with that kind of money you could staff 10 app teams, develop the app 10 times in different ways and just pick the best one in the end.
I've worked in streaming before and something many don't realize is there are 10-15 different app platforms you need to build for (web, ios, android, roku, android tv, tvos, fire tv, xbox, playstation, etc, etc). So 10 app teams only get you ONE app across all of the platforms.
Who picks? Likely that is the real problem.
