I think it comes down to having no obvious pain point.

There’s a comment about Spain podcasts going down that route because licensing music was a pain. Outside of Spain, that wouldn’t apply. For any of the podcats I listen to, the more complex part could be membership and advertisement sourcing, but there’s already strong players filling those gaps.

If there’s no pain point to solve by centralization, people won’t care for walled gardens.
