Because I can't see an outfit like Amazon restricting this content to their own platform. They will need to reduce the cost of subscriptions and introduce a range of measures (including deals with all other providers) to maximise revenue. So if it was Amazon, you could choose between streaming on their website, watching it through Sky, VM, BT or wherever. If they restricted subscriptions only to their own website, they would not attract the increased number of subscribers necessary to enable them to make a profit through reduced pricing.
