I dunno. Apple had a business case for buying record labels when they
were trying to get Itunes off the ground (not to mention Apple Records
to save some legal woes), and didn't. I don't see them really working
as a media company.
There is a falling out coming for the streaming services. Probably only >three will survive. One will be Netflix. Who will be the other two ? >Apple, Disney, Youtube, Comcast, AT&T, Fubo, Hulu, and Amazon are on
that list.

All the streaming services have a "walled garden" and refuse point-blank to share their 'exclusive' content with *anyone* else. It's one of the biggest stupidities there is in the industry since it means people have to subscribe to a bazillion different services just to watch one or two programmes on each one. X-(

You need to remember that, from the POV of the people who set up
