Tis the new age of sailing the seas, yaaarrrr!
This time, pirating OTT services because exclusives will make customers lose interest.
Not to mention generally shitty business practices and eve more arbitrary regional locking than you might think. I was living in a non-English speaking country back when I was willing to pay for Netflix and I tried watching an anime only to find I couldn't get the English dub. I contacted support and their answer was "You don't live in an English-speaking region so it doesn't make sense for you to have access to it 🤷🏻♂️". I stopped paying on the spot.
