The article addresses this specifically, saying Disney does not intend to make any of that content available in this new service.

I didn't see that. What I saw was Iger saying that they're still considering what this theoretical service may offer and whether it makes sense to have everything under a Disney brand.
A subscription for those who want to actively avoid anything non-Disney? I know that market exists, but it can't be very big. When I first read about Disney launching their own streaming subscription I was undecided between corporate hubris and me underestimating their off-brand catalog, but this seems to decide it.
Disney also owns Marvel, which brings all Marvel content.
Disney also owns Star Wars now, too.
Disney also owns ABC and ESPN.
One of the major complaints with all of these streaming companies is "no sports" -- imagine if Disney leveraged their sports library and technology to bring live streams to their library? How about old classic games? Best Of series?
It seems like Disney is actually in a FANTASTIC position to provide entertainment for every single person in the family.
