As long as the service doesn't start sucking (like other monopolies and government services), I think there are a lot of benefits to being able to stream through an established player: it's not just about licensing all the content people want to watch. Supporting a lot of devices (I care about Linux support, A LOT), having agreements to cache content locally with ISPs to ensure performance, etc. I wouldn't mind having a different 4-5 apps for different shows, or switching services every few months. But if everyone went solo and they were all still figuring out how to support everyone's device and how to scale? Not gonna bother.
