Did they?
Remember how "music lockers" like Google Play Music and the original incantation of Amazon Music, used to be a thing? Yeah, Big Music killed that. The closest thing we have now is music matching services that will happily nuke your music when the publisher delists those compositions for whatever reason.
Plex and the like make organizing and consuming pirated movies easy, but finding the source of those movies is still not trivial, and people _still_ get scary emails from their ISPs if they detect that enough of your traffic is being used for this purpose.
The Netflix app does not allow AirPlay (used to) or Bluetooth streaming (also used to).
It's still very much a cat and mouse game, and the cat is getting smarter every day.
