I think the purpose of this is likely in regards to VR.
As far as I am personally aware, Steam is now the only mainstream video rental platform with first-party support for Virtual Reality. (To exclude Google Cardboard further, "all-in virtual reality" where you don't leave VR)

- Navarr 10y agoSo my criteria was very specific so I'm proud to say I'm still "not wrong" :p Netflix and Hulu are not renting services - though I'm excited to learn they have full VR theater support! YouTube's cardboard stuff I don't think allows you to browse for videos to select, you select them and then launch it into VR mode. Cardboard is still rough around the edges that way - though with some of the hints of Android N enabling a VR mode I'm excited. I'm also not sure whether or not the YouTube app allows you to watch your rentals (you might only be able to do this in Google Play Movies)
