> How many competitors do you need? Apple, Disney, Netflix, Comcast, and Paramount are five major competitors.

I actually already agree that the number is not the problem. I can't articulate better, but somehow these don't actually feel like "competitors" in the classical market sense, but rather as stars orbiting the same center, as they're all moving in the same direction, and from time to time merging with one another.

That was more or less the case from the advent of TV onwards, though.

Not really. At that point TV was competing with cinema for attention, and each needed to provide something different. Now the mediums have merged as well.
