There is no announcement yet about Disney pulling their stuff from our Netflix, so lets hope it stays like that for as long as possible.

Malone does, yes, via a direct stake and indirect stake through Discovery.
I had thought by now that VM would've launched their own HBO type channel stuffed with Starz and Lionsgate content, but it never happened, apart from a bit of stuff on VOD.

Because the agreements that Disney has with the various pay tv platforms are still running. When they expire, lets see what happens then.
Look, Netflix has come along and built up a platform from nothing, which now threatens the traditional Hollywood companies. Either the cos adapt,or die. They have no choice but to go down the streaming route and compete head on with Netflix, if they don't, they'll be out of business.
