I think fee people remember when Netflix primarily sent DVD'S in the mail. With how ubiquitous they are you'd struggle to think they were ever not just purely a streaming service.

Oh. Well I'm a normal human with a limited budget so pricing is absolutely a concern for me lol.

That's for movies and television. Music streaming has all music on one platform. The main contenders are Spotify and Apple Music. You can pick one or the other and likely have access to most of the music you want.

That's not that different than how traditional tv stations would've competed with one another. You could only watch certain shows on certain channels. Every channel didn't have every show.

This is actually true of almost any big business actually. The more consolidated an industry is the more standardized, compatible, and accessible it is. Imagine if cell phone carriers for example were on a state by state level and having to pay roaming rates or being required to have multiple providers on one phone every time you left the state. The flip side is that the more consolidated an industry is the less innovation, growth, and price reduction occurs. This is why ideally you try to find a balance and at minimum try to have at least 3 major Corporations competing in the same industry to prevent monopolization and cartels

Health insurance companies are a worse culprit. More overhead than just having one system, higher costs for all, more denial of care.
