You are absolutely right in regard to streaming being a bad business model, although I would point out one aspect where it would be a plus.
Back during the pandemic, when theaters were shut down, Disney+ streamed first run films for a $20 "premier" fee. You pushed the button and it showed up on your monthly bill. I thought this was an inventive way to move the industry. Sure, the bulk of streaming content was subscription, which contains all the back catalog of movies and shows. But let's say instead of going to the theater this weekend, you can watch The Marvels from your living room for $20. You can have different tiers as well-- Coyote v. Acme could be $10. It's certainly a way to mitigate a loss.
I just haven't seen it since then, which makes me wonder how successful it was.
