I'm sure the actual Disney+ service will be as you describe, the problem is that Disney has, or will have, several streaming services at least in the States.

All of the Hollywood companies appear to be trying to replicate in the streaming world what they had in the linear channels world, ie multiple services. They haven't quite learned yet what made Netflix so successful.

Sky hold the rights for all new Disney films, so our Disney+ service will have less content to begin with.
