Is each individual catalog not cheaper than some massive catalog subscription? Or do you think that it is somehow possible to offer all of their content for $10/mn?

No, individual streaming service prices are mostly constant or edging up over time as catalogs shrink and more content owners set up their own exclusive siloed services.

But is it the same price as cable tv? Which I assume is what you mean by old large-catalog service.

I personally don't think they are even comparable services but I have not had cable service in ~15 years so things might have changed considerably.
