Sadly they crunched the numbers and decided they can make more money by charging more while making the service worse for the end user even if they have less users willing to stay on the platform. It’s like they implicitly want people who want a cheaper better service to go pirate, they don’t want you as customers.
We are still “customers”. They sell in-show product placement that we see also. Don’t let any of their BS fool you, they are still making a pretty penny off us. MUSO puts out a pdf every year with the standard “piracy bad” stuff but makes sure to pitch the idea that torrent data is valuable in a number of ways. They seem to be the only anti-piracy outfit that “gets it”.

Sure, but that is as a customer of the content generators, not the streaming services.
