You missed the world of file hosting services connected to the world of piracy.

Plus it’s more likely that one would pay $10, clean up the inbox and move on, compared to $25 yearly forever.

Honestly, I think this is just very different markets. With piracy (esp. of movies), you simply get a better product than if you don't use piracy: you can get stuff outside your market, you can get subtitles you don't get with your normal streaming service, you don't need to subscribe to 12 different services at once, you don't have to worry about not being able to watch a movie because your internet connection is down, you don't have to watch a bunch of ads, etc. Piracy isn't just about saving money.

Most of your points are also about price. You could subscribe to all of them and also buy all the stuff even from outside market if you had money. I bet that’s still more convenient than hoping to find your whole series in decent quality right now.

> ut not being able to watch a movie because your internet connection is down

Some services allow you to download movies beforehand just like you would have to do with pirated movies.

Also, no analytics are performed on you to analyze what you are watching, when, for how long, etc.
