Yes, but those streaming services have more than just that sport. If you are a person who watches nothing other than baseball, not even any TV shows, then yes it will be a problem. But most people aren't that and most people will just have these streaming services anyway. Many people will subscribe to all the major streaming platforms by default and consequently just also have access to all the sports.

Lots of people make this dumb joke and it's always dumb because there is no logic behind the dumb suggestion that a bunch of competing companies would bundle their services together for no reason other than to justify the dumb claim that streaming is somehow turning into cable even though it resembles cable in literally zero ways. Obviously there were always going to be more and more streaming services and I am deeply confused by anyone who didn't see that coming - did you really think everyone paying $100/month for cable would turn into everyone paying $10/month for just Netflix? If so, be better at math. The point of OTT streaming is to replace the revenue being lost by cable, it always needed to grow in order to do so. Like, duh. Idk what world y'all are living in where corporations are just dying to make less money.

It's already happening but it's done by ISPs rather than cable providers.

Here is my provider aggregating netflix, disney plus, eurosport player, dazn and a few others for a tiny discount https://www.tim.it/offerte-tv/timvision/timvision-gold

That's v kind of you but I'm not v qualified for that.

I'd like to recommend "fan director" which crowdsources all decisions based from a slider in the F1 app that goes between "I like what I'm seeing", "that chap looks in peril, bring out the safety car", and "let's spice this poo poo up I'm bored". Some other quick time events could be added to keep everyone engaged.

Twitch Plays Pokémon but for F1 team management would be a hell of a thing. Wonder how many pit stops would get called over the course of the race.

Lewis would rather direct his toxic army of Instagram and Twitter followers to dox, harass, and report employees to their bosses to get them fired, for the crime of not liking him. He is a toxic presence and hopefully will be gone from the sport sooner rather than later.

Not liking Lewis and calling him a prick on social media as an employee of another team are two very different things.

Maybe Lewis's decrepit old body can't take the punishment, and Georgie's young, resilient one can.
