I can see where you are coming from but there are more Sky Subscribers in the UK than there are people who have access to the service. And over here around half a million want access to these shows.
If they were to launch themselves then they would probably have a linear channel as well. But they also love the Sky Atlantic withheld deal because everybody who doesn't have access "most likely" purchases them on DVD and. BluRay with all the money going to them.
However since Atlantic, piracy of HBO shows has increased and this means they may be looking to monotise the people who currently don't have access.

How many people with pay tv would actually subscribe to a channel/On Demand purely containing HBO content I'd say very few going off the fact the overwhelming majority of voters in your poll said they wouldn't pay the current £4.99 for Now TV entertainment which includes all HBO's new content with different boxsets of its older content it also shows many new series from Showtime and a few exclusive Sky commisions , whilst HBO have some great content I certainly wouldn't pay a standalone charge of say £7-10 to watch it.
