To be fair, you are paying what? 11 dollars? Netflix isn't meant to be "all access to everything." If you wanted access to everything immediately it's going to cost a lot of money.
For a while, it was "access to nearly all old TV." a few years ago. But that was when old TV had little value. Nobody was paying for old TV and you couldn't even find it elsewhere.
Now, Netflix has made old TV valuable and has made new TV less valuable. Shows like The Expanse need to monetize on the reruns because the "first run" isn't enough anymore.

Most shows on TV are sold by the production companies at a loss or the production company and network or owned by the same parent company. That's part of the reason that people are asking what will happen to the Fox Network after Disney buys the rest of Fox. That also explains why relatively low rated scripted shows can survive on the CW - Warner owns half of CW and all of DC.
