They want to have one lame web app instead of a set of nice native apps? I mean it's very efficient for start-ups and a cost-saver, but they seem to be past ear

  Not necessary one web app, but one streaming layer, yes.

  Native apps have a huge set of their own problems. People don't want to have to install junk just to look at what should be a website, especially not when so many love grabbing all the personal data they can. If it had to be watched through an app, I'd bet any sum of money you'd find many/most accessing things like camera, mic, location, messaging, contacts, device ID, and other things they have zero business intruding in.

    Why should it be a website? The only connection between movies and hypertext is both can be delivered over the internet. Why the HELL would you shoehorn a branded DRM-enabled movie streaming application into a document viewer?

      > into a document viewer? DRM discussion aside, the browser has not been a simple "document viewer" for quite some time, despite its origins.

        One can teach a dog how to dance, but we don't say that dogs make good dancers.
