Look at the HBO service that's due in the USA people are speculating a price of over $15 how many are seriously going to subscribe ?

That's only a couple of quid more than Netflix. Whether people wil pay that or not will be down to the quantity and quality of their content. In the end, people will subscribe to those streamers who best cater for their tastes.
For example, Disney + looks like being good for families, but people in my household (Old Boy and Old Girl) will not subscribe because there are no children living in our house any more. We would perhaps be interested in the Hulu strand if it comes to the UK, provided we could get that on a standalone basis and the content warranted it.
Those who are saying that the new arrangements will be more expensive are ignoring the fact that people will only subscribe to those services that they want at that time. People will also shift between services from time to time as they won't be tied to contracts.
