Yes. All the digital platforms rely on licenses with the actual rights holders. A producer used to license movies across multiple platforms for largest reach but as the market continues to splinter and fracture and large studios keep being bought out by content houses (Netflix, Prime, Disney, etc) the incentive to have a wide distribution channel is being replaced with an incentive to hoard licensed content to pull higher subscriber numbers.
If the rights holder pulls the license and you own the movie on that platform, you no longer own the movie. Digital purchases need to be able to follow a user from service to service but I'll be long gone before that happens.
