That's not true. With every production company spinning up their own stuff, you can easily end up having to subscribe to 2 or three just to watch Star wars (Disney plus) AND Star trek (CBS)

    Having variety doesn't mean having everything. A grocery store has a lot of variety but not everything, similarly cable doesn't have everything. A lot of the biggest shows on Netflix have been Korean, usually US cable doesn't have those.
