SAG came about in an era when there were relatively few studios who produced the vast majority of movies. As a result, the options for skilled workers was low, and you had no choice but to endure poor conditions for low pay because your options were heavily limited. Software engineers today have thousands of companies that can hire them. I actually think that movies and shows should go the other way. Talent and production people should have a stake in the studio, and we should have a lot more of them. It would align interests and we'd have fewer people who are in it just for the preset day rate. We would see more innovation in content, distribution, pricing, and rights.
