    The competition should be about having the best platform, not exclusive content.

    Those both sound like competition to me. What you are really asking for is “I want things to be cheaper” which is a separate and sometimes related issue to competition, but separate nonetheless.

    The path to lower prices the way you want would be government-mandated price controls on the industry.

      Mandatory price controls can be tricky economically. I could certainly consider them on thinks required for living (food, housing, fuel), but putting them on optional entertainment like streaming? That sounds very counter productive.
