And about a few hundreds of other services worldwide with each their silos. Even for Netflix or Amazon Prime, it’s not the same catalog in the different regions they’re supported.
It’s of course made worse by the fact that any new entrant needs exclusives to lure people in, so every new service comes with its new silo.
It’s still a huge mess with no simple way to watch something legally from a simple search, even with a credit card in hand.
Music has become better (still super messy, spotify/apple music/Google cover a huge base, but it’s still only a fraction of what’s commercially sold in my experience)
