It reminds me of a rant by an anime youtuber / analyst, who complained that various video streaming platforms (amazon, netflix, crunchyroll, ...) are not innovative in design, but their only selling point is their closed catalogues. And. It. Drove. Him. Mad.
Okay, so you should subscribe to 5 services to see all the latest anime you should see. You want to support the artists. But, some of them have horrible experiences, and you are locked into it because you want to _legally_ watch this show.
It's that if your platform is exclusive enough, you also become very slow to innovate.
We've seen time and again that most innovation comes from constrained settings. But big corps just want to maximize money, they don't care about improvements. That is IMHO the block stopping us from actually tackling a lot of identified and solveable problems we face this century.
