You're kind of putting the cart before the horse here in asserting that those are three independent markets. I could just as easily say that restaurants participate in the "food cooking, table bussing, and patron seating" markets, and that it's way too hard for my upstart kitchen to compete in the food cooking market due to Cheesecake Factory having such tight control over the seating and serving markets. But the reality is, maybe my cuisine just sucks, and the singular market won't entertain it.

Independent video hosting that doesn't do frontend also exists, that's just any file hosting service. And independent video monetisation also exists. Many Patreon users don't host their content on Patreon. So yes, they are independent markets.
