It's worth noting this is a film industry publication and the "everyone" they're talking about are the people who worked on the movie. Having a credit on a theatrically released feature film is a big deal. If that gets demoted to a "straight-to-streaming" film it's not going to carry as much cachet, even if it is the same movie and it's just as good. Feature films are the top of the food chain and direct release to streaming feels like the old straight-to-video or made-for-TV movies. I imagine this matters a lot if you work in the industry.
