Well, two responses come to mind.
First, a bit flippantly: I bet Disney's services are going to do just fine. :)
Second, less flippantly: I'm not sure we should conflate "no R/X/MA material" with "nothing edgy," nor should we necessarily conflate "edgy" with "interesting." And, again, we don't really know what limits Apple has put on creators for this service; they have some pretty big names lined up in terms of writers, directors, stars, and properties. It's certainly true that a fair amount of what they're producing sounds explicitly family-friendly, but being able to say "we have original programming created for us by Sesame Workshop, Peanuts Worldwide, and Oprah Winfrey" seems like it could carry some weight. (And I'm personally interested in several of the more adult-sounding science fiction shows.)
