The point is that it's a large demographic for the TV industry to be missing out on. This is a new trend, so you can't just assume that eventually they will change their habits and adopt more traditional forms of entertainment. Maybe in 10 years time some pay-tv exec will be giving the same example for under-45 year olds.

The whole point of the exercise is to make money and therefore not rely on the pennies per month per subscriber that Sky routinely hand out to third parties.
