I fail to see why Sky are the only "bad guys" here.

Because at one time, all significant Sky branded channels were available on VM, even if some were only SD.
Then the sale of VM channels (Living etc.) to Sky happened and then Sky shortly afterwards, launched Atlantic as exclusive to them. It left a sour taste over the whole issue.
Streaming services always used exclusive content deals to attract customers. No one likes it, but it has always been the way of that business.

Now TV is an option. But it is a very poor substitute for an HBO Go service because it doesn't have back seasons always available.
But people who pay a lot for the XL TV package feel it is wrong to have to shell out even more to get HBO content via Now TV, when all the main Sky channels used to be included in the cost of XL. TV.
