Back in the days there was a law that movie studios couldn’t also have movie theaters to avoid this specific issue. Now they found the loophole.

Exactly right! Maybe the EU will save us all. It seems somehow monopolistic that Disney+ is the exclusive official streaming service for so much. I guess this is why Netflix put so much into Netflix originals.

I'd like to at least see some requirements for open licensing of shows, such as maybe a sunset period or something.

Yes. They could have the equivalent of theatrical release exclusive and when it would normally go to DVD get a global streaming license.
