We all know why Sky and BT showed the free matches, and that was a one-off decision related to the Coronavirus emergency.

Nor indeed, do Amazon do it through the goodness of their hearts. They want to sign people up to Prime. It’s a business.
You’re introducing emotive terminology, baselessly, to portray the status quo as bad and streaming as good. I don’t really understand why you relentlessly pursue this agenda on the forum. I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds it somewhat tiresome.
Sky charge “sky high” prices and could reduce the price to make it more accessible. Amazon,
of course, will. Baseless nonsense, and I’m sure a free market capitalist such as yourself must see that such a theory is not on solid economic grounds.
Unless of course you don’t think the pay-tv market has sufficient competition and would support Government intervention and further regulation. While I’d welcome it, I don’t see how that benefits the consumer to tie one hand behind the back of Sky/BT to hand the rights to Amazon on the cheap. Indeed, it’d be bad for the League, quality of their product, and all that jazz.
