At the core it's a matter of convenience.
When there's only one service to pay for or even two or three most people don't have a problem with paying a fee to have access to everything they want to watch.
But when there's fifteen services to pay for, even if they collectively cost less than the above example, many simply give up and turn back to piracy.

For me is includes being able to re-watch my favorite content whenever I want and on whatever device I want - no exeptions - even if the the internet is down, even if the creator no longer wants to make it available. The only thing that can guarantee that is something that gives me DRM-free files that I can manage however I want. Unfortunately for movies and shows noone provides this - best non-piracy option are physical discs but even those are so filled with anti-piracy measures (and other questionable technical decisions) which only serve to make the experience worse than piracy.
