Why aren't streaming media contracts negotiated like 'you will provide us the 4K copies of the entire series; we will stream it forever and you will get X% of the profit..margin...etc in perpetuity' (lemmy.world)

rather than this stupid fucking snip snap game where, instead of, as a user being able to buy into a company that's building a massive, marvelous, library-of-alexandria-core archive of every good show ever made, you're paying into some shitty ephemeral bullshit made by stupid greedy dickheads who have no fucking sense

You've answered your own question. “the selection is splitted” equates to “harder to stream” for anyone wanting to stream anything but the newest, greatest, most popular. Getting the full selection back requires signing up to multiple services and then having to search them for your desired content, thus getting “less quality and higher prices”.

You are, to an extent, correct that it's not exclusively Netflix’s fault, but I don't think entertainment pirates care about whose fault is what, they just wanna watch a show.
