I mean, Disney has specifically been pulling content because of the strike to put pressure on those striking. If there'd no content, then there's no residuals. A lot of writers (and some actors) are dependent on residuals to keep paying their bills, so it's a tactic to put on pressure at the negotiating table. https://insidethemagic.net/2023/05/disney-guts-content-amid-industry-strike-what-it-actually-means-jnw1/ https://insidethemagic.net/2023/05/disney-guts-content-amid-... When you combine that with the fact that the writers and actors are striking because they get significantly less residuals from streaming than they did from traditional physical and broadcast media, killing physical media (and the bigger residuals) looks a lot like a strike breaking move.
