This has been lost on Old Boy since the start. It's easier for Sky, as the incumbent rights holder, to move into streaming when there is market demand for them to do so than someone else out of the blue to outbid them and then develop an offering.
Now TV do a football season pass for about £200 give or take. I find it hard to imagine anyone else can raise £5bn at that price point. You can reverse engineer the figure as you please.
A further thought on the Premier League themselves selling direct to customers they might decide against in the event that we end up with more dead rubber closed door games in future seasons. A huge risk to take on retailing that directly.
