I agree with you here, to a degree. It seems the model of “one place” for all movies would be (and has been) a huge boon for viewers. But eventually I think that “one source” would become monopolistic, and we would see consumer abuse and degraded service. If you doubt it, Who would of thought anyone would abuse their monopoly on search? Or social? Or online retail? I guess I don’t know the best long term solution....

We could have "all the content" on several different platforms. It's like going to different supermarkets, they'll have the same products. Still, you might prefer one or the other for any other reason. Instead, we're going 100% on the other direction...

No - we had this in the past - it was a thing called 'television'.
What we need is a universal platform for all of these streaming services, one app that streams Netflix, Hulu, et cetera - and, ideally - the ability to 'rent' movies or shows from the services without having to pay for a whole month.
