It isn't available at a price that lets you stay in business.

Well, that depends on how much you can charge for your service. You can be super inefficient if your product is unique and has a big enough market, and that's precisely what these models are good for.
Once you've proven the idea, perhaps it's time to hire a team to optimize, but until then, you can focus on the rest of the business.
Netflix actually moved from their own datacenters to AWS at one point. Though not the bulk streaming part.

The technically hard part is the infrastructure to unicast millions of videos at a time, but that's now available from several cloud providers.
The really hard part isn't technical, it's content. Disney might be able to build the next Netflix with a codeless interface to videos on the cloud, but a high school student wouldn't.
