I have a lot of shows and movies on my watchlist that I can't stream anywhere (including rental) and there's no physical place to rent them either.

To name a few: Counterpart, Star Trek Discovery, Star Trek Lower Decks, Dr Who, Farscape, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and The Abyss.

I'm not going to buy a movie or show to watch it once, but other than that I'm here with the money in my hand ready to give it to the license owners. Apparently they don't want it.

Definitely. Licensors, distributors, broadcasting networks, "the big wigs" are pure business machines. There never really has been a straight route for end-users to fund\support a favorite director, content-creator, actors, etc.
