I feel like that’s the opposite of what we want. Perhaps a storefront where one could choose what they want from different providers for a reasonable price would be good, but consolidation leads to *opolies, which are never good for consumers.
Wasn’t Netflix basically that? One store front for films and TV shows produced by different companies. Pay a flat monthly fee and get access to the libraries from every production company.
Maybe instead of spending more on lawyers, just consolidate the streaming services again so they’re more attractive than piracy?

That was pre-enshittification. We are far beyond that point now.
Fuck that, let me buy DRM-free movies. We can do it for music, books and games. Movies and TV shows are next.
