Netflix is having this exact problem - publishers pulling movies - now that streaming has gone mainstream and they can rent/sell movies individually.
Oh yee of little faith

I think you are mostly right about Big Six publishers, but we're talking about the Amazon Prime "subscription" plan , which relies on indie authors.
