I still think one of the craziest examples of multiplatform streaming being required is from Pokemon. They have a whole guide on how to watch every season:
Edit: oh, and this is AFTER the death of Pokemon TV, their own streaming service lol.
Unbelievable.
Reminds me a bit about how Weird Al was able to get a whole album worth of music videos funded by spreading them out across various platforms.
But that was clever and creative. This is just goofy.
It's more the result of there not being much demand for the entire 20 year run of Pokemon, so they didn't bother keeping them packaged together. Otherwise they'd have priced it accordingly, and the services may not have wanted it at that price.
It's like how classic Doctor Who and current Doctor Who weren't packaged together: the demand for one was diff than the other, so it made sense to let streaming services only pay for the one their customers wanted most.
