Thing is, Disney has profited immensely from public domain, and then they have done everything in their power to restrict public domain as much as possible.

Works have to be released into the public domain, or there will be nothing but licensed regurgitation of the same things.

Exactly: a huge proportion of Disney’s historical works are for existing stories which had far less IP protection than Disney’s reproductions had.
