Ironically, centralizing it back when Netflix was the only company doing it made it so convenient, it was “in one place” with little restrictions other than having a good pipe.

Now with the fuckery of so many services, it’s across many places, each of them enshittifying with ads or obtuse announcements…it’s not a little easier to pirate, it’s a hell of a lot easier. Half the work to stream something legally now is just finding out what service hosts it, then debating burning the free trial for the one thing you really wanted to watch on there.
