Disagree. I'd argue that the companies releasing the movies shouldn't be the same ones running the streaming services. It would mean they can't double-dip, and they're encouraged to be on as many services as possible

I think that would come as a natural result, or rather could be enforced by law, younkinda have to remove these exclusivity bullshit deals for the sake of the customer.

It's actually a relatively common idea! A great example is many countries forcefully separate the Internet providers and the companies that own the lines themselves. It means the ISPs share lines and are in competition with every other ISP, and the companies that own the lines are incentivizes to build as many, bigger cables as possible and onboard as many ISPs as possible. It's honestly a great system
