The fragmentation of streaming services often conflicts with what consumers want to see. Spotify is a centralized service and people love it. That's basically what consumers want, a Spotify for TV. The other issue with all of these streaming services is varied compatibility based on your platform. HBO didn't work with Roku for a year or two over a contract dispute, other streaming services weren't available on all devices. Granted, I haven't run into this issue lately, but in the era of "smart" (eyeroll) TVs and other entertainment devices, you can't really assume that anything "just works" anymore without checking first.
