None of this is quantifiable, and certainly non-exclusive arrangements don’t point towards millions of subscribers wanting to pay for your “must have” content.
It’s far more likely they’ll just raise prices among the customers most likely to take the service - who happen to be the ones who benefit most from the current arrangements.
If it was simply about streaming they’d work with current providers. It’s about control and ultimately profits.
