Yeah streaming has an assumption of an exclusivity deal whereas in gaming it's unpopular and financially not worthwhile (though subscriptions would rapidly change that).
If Netflix and HBO and everyone else all were equally able to buy content and no service was the primary sponsor of content you'd get services competing on price, quality, and selection rather than each of them aiming to always have something worth the subscription price coming out.
