Because with an email system nobody else's content is involved.
With video streaming, the supplier has to buy the right to stream the video to you. Buying world-wide rights would be enormously more expensive than buying rights for a single country or region.
You may not like it, but I honestly don't see any practical alternative. Would you be willing to pay 10x the current price to be able to watch something from anywhere in the world? Realistically, that may well be the level you'd be looking at for world-wide, rather than single-country, access.
