I can show that the television market can support hundreds of channels despite millions of homes already having Netflix/Prime etc.

You cannot, logically, claim there will be a “long decline” on the basis of any observable evidence at all. More streamers = more competition for Netflix/Amazon and it’s not yet proven what the market will sustain. You continue with the flawed assumption that households will pay for these services regardless of quality. I don’t think every major studio necessarily has a product people want to buy.
