Might it be because with music there’s a lot more fandom for specific bands/artists?
For example, if I want to watch the latest Tom Cruise action movie but Netflix doesn’t have it, I might settle for an alternative in the same genre. But if I want to hear the latest Adele album but my “disrupted music streaming service” doesn’t have it, I’m not gonna settle for an artists that sounds like Adele but isn’t her.
So if every label had their own streaming service, you’d basically needed to have a subscription to all of them. I don’t think that’s realistic and maybe the labels’ market research tells them the same?
