Not related to the above, but Netflix has the best UI.

Prime has issues like separate seasons are listed as separate titles.  

Hulu has issues where different languages are listed as different episodes, it's harder than it should be to get to a different episode.

A bit, yeah. Netflix rose to power partly because all the content owners sold shows/videos for cheap. Nowadays it costs a heck of a lot more to buy content for a streaming service and the majority of the companies are having to focus on their own content. Disney's streaming service will be fine, companies with huge backlogs will be fine, but I think general service streamers like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon will die out for a while. We could maybe see them selling their original content on other services if they can't keep enough subscribers.
I think Netflix is big enough that it'll be fine.  
As kitler said, Amazon will be fine because most people get it for shipping.  

Hulu is a question mark.  Disney taking control of it, I wonder if they will combine Hulu and Disney+ or something.


The company specific services is where I feel there's more questions.

The less successful ones might decide streaming isn't worth it, or they might decide to let Netflix/other stream their movies/shows anyways.
