Now everyone wants to pull their content and put up their own shitty service with barely functional controls. They fought against progress until progress proved profitable, and now they want the whole pie.

I'm pretty sure they were happy with the cable arrangement - you wanted one channel but you had to pay for everyone because it was bundled together. Now they all have to compete to get paid. They're forced into the streaming business because streaming is killing cable and they don't want to let the streaming service hold the money. If they price reasonably it would still be acceptable.
