It's not that they won't do it. It's that they currently don't so it's a good choice.

When they add ads, then we can find something else. I'm on Roku now but have been increasingly annoyed by the increase in ads.

Or just... don't. Self hosting video content isn't that hard, then you have full control.

I do. But I also see a need to support content creators.

You can support content creators without streaming services. I buy and rip DVDs and Blurays, which directly supports them.
